This book is an essential guide for anyone interested in the
popular craft of needle-felting. Whether you are completely new to
needle-felting or an experienced felter, this book has something to
offer, from precise instructions to creative inspiration. Written
by two authors, experienced in making and teaching crafts to
students of all ages and abilities, instructions are easy to follow
and include practical yet creative ideas to fix common mistakes.
Projects arise from a genuine love of the natural world and
animals, whether they be family pets ('Our Friend Dexter') or wild
animals whose widespread ill-treatment has brought them into the
limelight. Requiring no experience other than an interest in
working and playing with wool, projects progressively build on
skills throughout, and will transform you into an avid
needle-felter in no time at all.
The book contains chapters on techniques, materials, tools and
accessories. There is a chapter on fairies, angels, and people, and
the rest of the book is organised by season; it brims with all
kinds of treasures, such as pumpkins, gnomes, strawberries,
baubles, birds, bees, snails, flowers, the Nativity, mice, and
mermaids. All the projects in the book are doable for a beginner.
Some aimed at little fingers (no needles involved) and beginners,
and some are aimed at those with more experience. Steffi's advice
is to have a go!
