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!! ')
