'Animal Print' Bedroom Slippers- Part 1

Topping slipper resists...

...with rectangles of silk in an animal print...


                           ...covering just the resist area with a layer of wool roving...



                                           ...and flipping the project to side two.

                           (Remember that the silk is between the resists and the wool.)



                               Wrapping the silk and wool around to the second side...



                                        ...and adding additional layers of roving...

                  ...(plus lengths of bright yarn to keep the sides 'straight' in my head).



                                           Wrapping the wool around the resists...



                                   ...and adding additional layers of merino roving.



                                                     Wetting out the slippers...



                                   ...and proceeding to rub and roll them for a time.



                                                When they pass the 'pinch test'...



                                                 ...it's time to cut them open!



                                               Next time: the finished slippers.

I'm intrigued by these, particularly the shape of the resist.

They're a thinner version of the silk embellished cat and dog slippers that I made not too long ago. Hxx
