Concept

During the presentation on felting, one example of a recent application was the felt boots that the Russian army uses to stay warm in the winter. I thought the concept of felt boots where nifty, so I decided to make a pair or my own. Originally I planned to felt the boot as one continuous piece, but given the difficulty of felting a 3D shape, especially when it comes to controlling size, I decided to felt a sheet and then sew the boots out of that.
