The Welly Challenge

By LynneJoyce  
Just for fun this post is in response to Peter's (Ddolfelin) challenge in my last post to use my drawings to decorate wellies. He had read the poem below on my Facebook page. Let me know which of these designs I should forward to Welly manufacturers for their consideration.

Ode To Wellies

Wellies are my favourite things,
I love them all to pieces,
On doggy walks they keep me dry
And safe from mud and faeces.

The ones that I loved best of all
Were red and bright and shiny,
I had them when I was a child,
In fact when I was tiny.

It really didn't matter
If the Sun was shining bright,
I wanted those red Wellies on
Throughout the day and night.

I think they fired my passion
For the Wellies of today,
And my modern collection
Is lively, bright and gay.

Some are only ankle deep,
Some are very tall,
But lovely, lively patterns
Enliven almost all.

All except the green ones
That I hardly ever wear,
Probably because
There are no patterns there.

I think my bright red Wellies
Raised my expectations,
And made me think that Wellies should
Be lively, bright creations.

So my dull green Hunters stay unworn,
While the dog prints get an airing,
Along with lively flower prints,
And the abstracts, bold and daring.

But still the ones that I loved best
Were my childhood Wellieboots
Because me and them and puddles
Were always in cahoots!

v6 looks good but v12 has that 'green' credentials.

V5 for me. Smile

I'd love a pair like that, Lynne
And really want them NOW!
Then when I put my feet in,
My heart would call out; WOW!
The pattern is so striking
I'd love my feet within,
And whenever I'm out hiking,
I'd always think of Lynne. Wink

Fabulous work from you, Lynne, I wouldn't know why to start to produce such a fantastic set. VERY well done.

So creative Lynne and interesting that a few of us like V2 and 12 - also I like V4.
I'd be interested to see the final tally.
Great poem too.

Just like others, versions 2 and 12 appeal, probably because they are "gardeny".

Shows how long I’ve been on EPZ, Lynne, I remember your wonderful Glastonbury flower-power shoe pictures of yesteryear! Love these, and the poem, which could be written to music 🙂 Joyful creations, all of them!
