I felted these around a flat resist. I had a hard time trying to make the seams not too bulky. The first pair I tried had thin areas at the seams. I have some leather that I am going to add to the toe and heel sections on the bottom so they are not so slippy on the floor. For a first "Officially Wearable" pair. I am so-so happy with the result. Now to go work on some smaller felted projects that involve wood, embroidery, and felt......
oh kelly, how lovable! i could be jealouse! love, riet:)
ReplyDeleteKelly! I am slipper dyslexic! I love these and I have tried resist felting them twice for winter slippers for myself, just to get a practice pair in and botched both attempts. And I am annoyed at having wasted good materials! BTW, you can get liquid latex and paint it on the soles of the slippers for traction. You can even get it in different colors to match your design. Check art supply stores like Dick Blick etc. I need you to walk me through this as I must have a slipper block! xx
ReplyDeleteCute, cute, cute, Kelly!!
