slipper research

i need a new pair of slippers. in vancouver, i wore flip flops or great embroidered ones from chinatown. sadly, they died before we moved out here. and in toronto, flip flops are only good for the summer. i attempted a free-hand-no-pattern-but-an-image-in-my-head version tonight that's interesting but not quite right. i did a little research and found a few things:
+civil war hospital slippers
+martha's take
+an interesting article about repetto
hmm, back to the drawing board i think.
