Average Customer Ratings:

Crafters are embracing felting as one of the most exciting and versatile techniques around—and textile artist Lizzie Houghton offers 30 stunning projects that truly stand out from the crowd. Her thorough, fully-illustrated tutorial in the basics will open the craft up to anyone: it includes everything from laying out the fabric and network felting to three-dimensional forms. Beginners then have the skills they need to create subtle variances in color; carry out bold, playful experiments; and work with traditional fibers as well as velvets, silks, and embroidery. The scarves, wraps, pillows, throws, and other felted designs all feature nature-inspired shades, from the fiery hues of chili and poppy and rust to the earthy tones of fern and moss.

CUSTOMER REVIEWS:

Creative Felting -
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.

Advanced Only -
Beautiful up close images with great fiber ideas, but instructions are too brief and spotty and could not be understood by beginners. Inpiring for advanced felters, but new felters would be lost because the book lacks comprehensive photos (only close ups) and the written felting instructions leave out at least 50% of the actual felting process. The only thing I got out of this book were ideas to try new fibers, but having only close-up photos was so irritating, that I would not recommend this book. Nice to look at, but not helpful to most felters.

interesting -
the book was not at all what I expected. It id definitely not a book to purchase if you are looking for basic projects and directions for making them. Pictures are gorgeous but the book is a bit too eclectic for the basic felter. I would not have purchased it had I had the opportunity to first review it but that is the perspective of a "crafting" felter not an artiste.

Texture book -
I was both inspired and dissapointed with this book. Even though at the beggining of the book there are felting instructions, you won't find any project ideas at all. Every sample is simply flat felt with interesting texture on it. They are beautiful, but to tell you the truth I wouldn't have bought that book if I knew.
