His first author's chair forumchanin give each musician. His back he turned into the neck of a musical instrument, which made the elegant chair was named "Violin."

"We have a national winter clothes what? Boots, sheepskin coat with a cap. We winter in sneakers, even the students do not go "- instructed the cat Matroskin hapless balls. And though now in the middle of winter on the streets can sometimes be found in the student's sneakers, the product of genuine warm wool does not go out of fashion. And in the boots, decorated with intricate finishes, is not ashamed to be published.

On the Internet, she found a video tutorial, bought a color fluffy fur and matted first experimental pair. However, my daughter boots were small - Daria has not calculated that the felting wool so compacted and reduced to the extent that the footwear have a doll just right. But the first failed attempt did not stop the girl, and soon craftswoman holding a bright red chesanki decorated with cheerful striped bee.

Daria Gubanov:

- Chesankami felt boots are called because they make soft, already combed wool. A shoe factory rolled out straight from sheep wool, previously degreased feedstock in sulfuric acid. Boots gets tough, not so comfortable!

Felting wool, oddly enough, requires good physical preparation. Relax in the creative process you are unlikely to succeed. To turn weightless cotton wool in a fashion scarf, footwear or cap, it, layer by layer wetted with soap solution, with a force crumple hands and twisted in boiling water and cold water. A preform took desired shape, it is put on a special shoe and beat off a wooden mallet.
