Using lasts that I made a number of years ago...
...and a pair of old stockings...
...I tumbled the nearly completed slippers in the dryer for a while...
...to finish them off.
While choosing leather for the soles...
...I thought it would be fun...
...to use grey leather for one slipper...
...and burgundy for the other!
Because I wasn't completely satisfied...
...with the way I 'healed' the slits during felting...
...I did a little hand embroidery...
I also stitched a bit on the slipper exteriors...
...to slightly camouflage the spots...
...where the silk didn't completely cover the wool.
Next time: photos from a couture fashion exhibit in Philadelphia.
