Once the resists are removed...
...the rubbing and rolling continues...
...until the slippers are fully felted...
...and the proper size.
Leaving excess silk, as I did, during the layout...
...(to wrap around to the second side of the resist)...
...left fewer 'silk-free' areas than in this recent project.
Because I made them as a birthday surprise...
...I had guessed on my friend's shoe size...
...but I'm very pleased to say...
...that they fit 'as if they were made for her'! Grin.
I added lines of 'puffy paint' to the slipper soles for traction...
...and as long as she can keep them from becoming 'chew toys'...
...I think they'll be quite useful!! ')

Keeping them from being chew toys will be the real achievement, I see!
They look great, so she's got an incentive...
Thanks, Rachel!! (I was so relieved that they fit! Her feet are teeny-tiny!)
Slippers are great. My congratulations. Thank you very much too for DYI.
Happy New Year 2016 !!!
