In this visually stunning book, Moy Mackay reveals how you too can
create beautiful pictures using felt. Characterised by her wonderful use
of colour, Moys work is breathtaking and includes still-lifes, animals
and landscapes inspired by the dramatic scenery of the Scottish Borders
where she lives and works. Moy takes you through every step of the
process, including the materials and tools you need, the feltmaking
process itself (which is easier than youd imagine), and how to put
together four fabulous felt paintings of your own. There is guidance on
stitching, including both hand- and machine-stitching, as well as how to
use colour and introduce texture in the form of different fibres and
threads. There are numerous examples of Moys work through the book, and
by the end you will not fail to be inspired to create gorgeous felt
paintings of your own.
Moy's passionate use of colour and the deep texture created by felting
are what draw me to her work. I also like the way that she concentrates
on her surroundings for her subject matter her work is very free.-Kaffe
