peasant shoe project

I've been working on making my son's costume for the Quest Shakespeare production of A Midsummer Night's Dream. I was at the second hand store looking for rough cloth and something from which to make shoes. A pair of furry lined ladies' boots caught my attention.
Here's a pictorial essay of my project this afternoon. It took me into the evening because I was inventing/designing as I made it. The results look goofy, more like a puppet than a pair of shoes, but they'll work for peasant fare.
