Workshop On The Web: This is a lovely book containing six projects (shown on the cover) using hand needle felting. These range from a simple design for card-making to a country scene, complete with fluffy sheep. The projects, as they are aimed at beginners, are all quite simple to follow, and there is a good variety of techniques covered. It is a good introduction to needle felting, especially if you are interested in applying the technique to make dimensional objects. The materials you require are quite basic (needles, wool, foam) so you can get a feel for the technique without having to buy a lot to get started. There is the opportunity for further work (for example, using raw wool to make felt balls, carding your wool to blend colours and using pipe cleaners to create a skeleton shape to work around). Pictures are included of variations of each one, so you get an idea of which direction you can progress in. The emphasis here is on making your first experience of needle felting fun and colourful - and it certainly succeeds. Whoever thought that a felt tea service could be something that you just have to have!

A good little book that gives a basic introduction to the craft. I had been introduced to the craft by a friend so wanted something to explain the technique again and give me a more inspiration. This book fulfilled both those requirements. There are enough projects here to keep me felting for a while, and also ideas that I could, with a bit of thought, expand myself. I have tried the cards first as they are the easiest to do, and then I love the cup and saucer featured on the front cover. The cup could be filled with small items to make a thoughtful gift. Would recommend this book for what it says it is a "Beginners Guide"
