Modified another pair of wool felt boots 新做一款羊毛靴子

 

 The woolly boot I made with wet felt technique learnt from Natalya Brashovetska.

 The Austrian mountain sheep wool is really so easy to felt with.  I added UK Wensleydale curls for the textures.

 

Up to the hill where I live......

 

Lift up and relax over our city view........ Hong Kong is in the sub tropical zone.  We do have winter.   Normally Nov - Feb are cool days, cold below 8C at times.  But this year still not cool even hot. 

 Come on I need the cold days to cool down.........

 

 Indeed I made the boots last year started with wool layering.  After some rubbing, rolling and fulling......

 The hard work is to glue it and hand stitching.

 

Finished with the slip-in boots with flap.  After a year I thought it's no harm to do something and modify it to another style.  I cut it to have the lace style.

 Then punch the eyes for the lace holes each boot with 10 holes.  This is the only part I can't do it myself so it's done in a shop.

 

Though I don't have the former style of slip-in.  I can make another one later.

The pair now is lace tied I love.
