Customer Reviews

Creative Felting

This is a gorgeous resource with lovely colour ideas. I've even recommended it on my blog!

This one gets an A from me

Unlike some of the other reviewers, I thought the instructions at the beginning of the book were some of the best I'd found. Wet felting, the basic process, is not rocket science and of the six or seven books I borrowed from the library (all recent publications), for my money - this is the one I had to have. The instructions were straight-forward, understandable and concise. When I haven't done felting for a while & need to refresh my memory, this is the book that gives me a quick refresher course in the clearest manner. If it doesn't cover everything in detail, the basics are here and easy to access. As for the rest of the book - no projects - but I was looking for a way to realize ideas I already had, so I was delighted with the glorious inspirational pictures. The photos are a feast for the eyes. Well worth the very reasonable price, in my view.

This book covers many aspects of felt and felting and is an excellent resource and inspiration.

Creative Felting

This book is more for the experienced felter. The pictures are fantastic and it will certainly spark your artistic side but it doesn't give practical ideas of what to produce. It is more about making artistic felt than a about a usable product. It is a beautiful book and you could look at it over and over just for it's artistry.

This book has wonderful photos showing how you can use the environment around you for inspiration in your felting. There are lots of different effects shown using a variety of material. Wonderful book.
