Still having a spinning bug....First I have a whole bunch of dyed roving to play with. Second I seem to have dedicated Sundays to spinning. Yesterday I visited my spinning buddy and we spun in the sun for about 3 hours. It's even more fun in tandem...The wool wasn't the only thing spinning...
When I got home I checked on my felted projects, another pair of sleepers out of SWS earth tones. I have searched high and low for forms to dry them on and decided to buy inexpensive knock off of Croc sandals at the dollar store. I cut the top part off, and voila, sturdy soles with an idea of the size. And they match!!! You can see peeking out under, the ones I have worn everyday, very cool summer, since I made them last fall.
Also felted more pot holders, this particular pattern is very sweet with a raised flower in the center, but one of them decided to break open in the washing machine.... I guess I did not close it tight enough, it looks great!!! Thinking of what to do with it, another work in progress...
I'll have to try to do that in purpose next time, maybe a lotus, more petals, and it will be a???

Great Idea on the crocs, and nice stripes...fun spinning day..and the potholders look lovely, if not a titch blurry...lol...lotus sounds very pot zen...
You are a real inventor! That idea with the crocs is one worth patenting. The dollar stores won't know what hit them.
Wishing you (and Cedar) more fine spinning days.
