Following this wonderful tutorial...
...I draft a slipper pattern from craft paper.
With a permanent marker...
...I transfer the patterns to a piece of foam floor underlayment.
Using a vintage silk scarf from my stash...
...I choose areas that I wish to highlight...
...and orient my pattern pieces accordingly.
One slipper will feature a glum cat...
...and the other, a grinning dog. :)
The silk is placed on the foam resists 'right side' down...
...and smoothed out with a sprinkle of water.
A layer of white wool roving is applied next...
...and the project is wetted out.
Additional layers of wool are added...
...from a blended art batt...
...and the slippers are flipped over to the second side.
Next time: the resists are encased in additional layers of fiber.
