Slipper Soles, It's a Go

Here we go. Wet puff paint:




And dry puff paint:




And slippers modeled by yours truly:




FYI, I really have been working on the black & white baby blanket this whole time. In fact, I'm going back to it right now. Have to - the shower is this Saturday. :)

Slipper Sole Experiment, Continued

Success! The paint is now translucent, with sparkly glitter. I stretched the fabric, twisted it, scrunched it, and the paint stayed attached. It's kind of stretchy, so I think it will do just fine in stripes. I'm not sure how it will hold up to the heat of a dryer, but it should be easy enough to put more on as needed.

Slipper Sole Experiment

How to prevent people from breaking their necks wearing splippery slippers? I did a little garter stitch swatch (approx. 1.5" square) in the same yarn as the slippers and added some puff paint stripes and dots to it. Maybe a series of dashes will make the most sense in the end. I think a long stripe will just crack when the sole is stretched. To apply the stripes I just used the bottle's applicator, but for the dots I also poked at them a bit with a toothpick.

The directions say it should be dry in 24 hours, so we'll see tomorrow how well it adheres to the yarn. And now I must wait. Humph.

Update - after about 3 hours, some of the paint appears translucent instead of white. Hmmm.
