I am at last feeling better after a nasty bout of gastro and celebrated by finishing painting my rainbow boots! I have just to heat set the paint and rethread the laces and I’ll be wearing these out and about all over town. 🙂

I love them! One is painted to look ‘smooth’ and one ‘furry’, just because. When I was a kid, I had a favourite pair of rainbow striped gumboots I adored. I was broken hearted when I grew out of them. Many years later I bought a pair of furry rainbow booties and wore them around the house until I wore the soles out completely. THESE should be a lot more durable! Hurrah!

Here’s what they started out looking like:

Then start adding paint:

And set to dry in the sun on the window-sill:

I’m sure these will be a hit when I go out face painting!
