these beautiful felted and embroidered slippers came to us as a christmas present from Kazakstan. the russian word for slippers is "tapochki". don't they just make you think of "Aladin" or "Little Muck", flying carpets and magic lamps?they are obviously made entirely by hand. several layers of different colours of felt are sewn together and embroidered. the soles are leather.
perhaps this inspires the felters among us to try a similar design.
i hope you are all having a wonderful Christmas holiday.
