Handmade slippers and boots by JurgaFeltLife

My life as a felt-maker began when I became a mom" saying Jurgita. Here is her SHOP and all the story.

I fell in love with felt in 2008 when my first son turned 3 months old. The love grew bigger and bigger with every little thing I used to felt, with every piece of art I found in books and magazines. Before that I worked as an architect in a small company, later I understood I really need more freedom in my occupation, I wanted to see my children growing. I wanted to do what I really loved to. This was working with textile. This was felting.
My very first felt craft was a pair of red slippers for myself: much better than I could have imagined. Afterwards there was a bag with flying little butterflies, slippers for my family and handbags for friends. Step by step I discovered more and more about this old and amazing craft.
We live near a forest and a lake surrounded by wild meadows in summer and magnificent snowdrifts in wintertime with only a few neighbours in the distance.
I work at home. In the midst of beautiful nature I feel so free and creative. I can't imagine myself working alone. Kids, my little assistants, are running around and are always willing to advise me on the selection of colours. My husband is also there with his free sense of art and brilliant ideas. He is my number one quality controller. I love working at home where I can feel free and comfortable.

So this is my life. This is my shop story.

Handmade wool felt clogs, slippers, boots, leg warmers by WoolenClogs

Handmade felted shoes story and WoolenClogs SHOP ....
Local sheep wool usually is rough, like the most North European breeds. But it felts so good! It is too rough for thin felting projects, but perfect for felted footwear! 
Undyed natural wool is with lanolin, even few staples of moss or straw, but it is so alive compared to chemically treated wool. And the product is real pleasure to the feet - breathable, warm, absolutely natural.
We use only natural undyed Lithuanian and European wool for our footwear.
We are glad that Etsy helps us to share products of our land (with a touch of our hands:)) with all the world!
 Woolenclogs were created in 2011 by Rasa, who is a feltmaker since 2009. Tadas joined Rasa in 2013 as an apprentice an quickly became a maker in his own right. He is now creating woolen clogs together with Rasa. In 2014 as the shop grew Aiste joined the team as curator.
