Copati model "jelša" - Slippers type "Alder tree"

Še eni copati - tokrat natikači. Pripravljena česana volna - naravna siva za zunanjost in rumena, obarvana z jelševimi listi, za notranjost, naložena in odrezana po modelu za oba copata. Another pair of slippers. The carded wool - natural grey for the outer surface and yellow, dyed with alder leaves, for the inner surface, is layered and cut on the template for both slippers.
Taki so bili copati, dokončno sfilcani in oprani v pralnem stroju. This is how the slippers looked like when they were full felted and washed in the washing machine.
Spodnji dve sliki: Oblikovani in posušeni copati (dva dni) - občutek je res - volnen!
The two bottom pictures: Formed and dried (two days) slippers - they feel ... well, wooly!
