A Plethora of Peculiar Projects- Part 5 of ? (Cameo Slippers and Multiple-Resist Bag)

Adding additional fiber to each slipper...

 
...with a final layer of Hog Island wool...

 
...for extra soft sponginess!

 
Unfortunately, as I was laying out the last layers...

...I got distracted (or a little 'cocky'?)...

...and neglected to mark the cutting side on each slipper...

 
...and this was the end result! Waaaaah!

 
 I did like the embossed-looking result, though...

...so I'll try to pay a bit more attention if I try it again! :)

****************************************************************
This is a multiple-resist purse that I started in Portugal.

 
It was to have three of these flap-like purse sections...

...but the center one sagged...

...and I couldn't figure out a work-around.

 
My solution?

I removed the center 'flap' and stitched up the gap...

...then promptly lost interest in ever finishing it...

...so here it languishes! :)

 
At the end of October...

...after the hustle and bustle of my eldest daughter's wedding has subsided...

...I'll be featuring a giveaway of several of my unfinished projects.

This grey bag will be among them...

...so if you'd like to finish it off for your own use...

...stay tuned!! :)

A Plethora of Peculiar Projects- Part 4 of ? (Cameo Slippers)

Cutting out initials...

 
...from a thick section of finished felt...

 
...plus two ovals from a piece of black pre-felt.

 
Needle-felting commercial pre-felt over each initial...

 
...for a cameo-like appearance.

 
Positioning the ovals on my slipper resists...

 
...then flipping them over before adding any fiber...

...(to work inside-out).

 
Covering the resist with wool roving.

 
With lots of finished felt scraps lying about...

...I'm always looking for a 're-purposing' project!

For these slippers...

...I decided to reclaim bits of thick, finished felt...

...by using them as bas relief in the embellishment!

Next time: a disaster occurs...

...and lessons are learned for the future! ,)
