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. - Beautiful
photographs and illustrations throughout- Over 20 patterns and design
ideas for creating your own needle-felted animals- A range of projects
suitable for complete beginners as well as more advanced crafters-
Written by experienced crafters and workshop leaders, this practical
guide also highlights common mistakes ('felting bloopers') and offers
creative solutions to fix them- Inspired by the natural world and
animals from well-loved stories and myth, these projects aim to engage
us in, and re-connect us more fully to, the worlds of art, imagination,
play and nature
