Book Review

Here are two fantastic felting books published towards the end of last year that are well worth owning.
500 Felt Objects
Contemporary Explorations of a Remarkable Material published by Lark Crafts
From Felt to Fabric
New Techniques in Nuno Felting by Catherine O'Leary also published by Lark Crafts


From Felt to Fabric
Some of you will know Catherine O'Leary from her workshops in NZ and from past Felting Convergences in Australia.
Her nuno technique of laminating and layering fabrics into felt is beautifully photographed and explained.
The book contains just the right amount of information and enough photos to inspire and awe us.  I brought mine from Fishpond for around $40 with free shipping but a quick check today shows that it is on special at $19.61 with free shipping so grab that one fast.
This is one of my most prized felting books.

Catherine O'Leary's From Felt to Fabric

500  Felt Objects is a book of photos of the work of felters form all around the world. It even has a photo of our own Tracy White's frilled scarf.

What I most love about this book is its lovely chunky size and how it sits on my coffee table enticing  me to flip a few pages every now and then and be inspired, wowed and excited that I too am a felter and this is the sort of thing that can be achieved with wool and fibre.

This book is pricey at around $60 but well worth it.
