4.0 out of 5 stars Easy dry felting, 17 Nov 2008
By K. Platt "blackplantlady" (Sheffield, England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
In this book, Sheila Smith explores the new dry-felting techniques by hand and by machine using an embellisher. Precise instructions are given for both methods and Sheila explores the pros and cons of buying an embellishing machine or using an attachment for an existing sewing machine. She shows how to combine needle punching with traditional wet felting techniques and also how to embellish by using embroidery stitches.
She gives a range of fabrics, explaining their qualities and encourages experimentation with a variety of fabrics, not just wool. She demonstrates materials, equipment, colour and dyeing to good effect. She shows how to make felt fabrics from scratch, how to build texture, how to incorporate tucks and tubes and work in 3-D. Learn the secrets of rapid dyeing and special effects.
The projects include step-by-step instructions for beginners and there are innovative ideas for experienced felters. I personally felt that the first project needed a traceable design or an easier method of transfer or perhaps a simpler project altogether. Some of the projects recycle old sweaters. The finished pieces are inspirational and will encourage you to further explore felt making to make unique items. I particularly like the felt vessels. The book covers could easily be transformed into bags or purses.
This is a practical and useful book with beautiful illustrations of finished work. There is a list of suppliers for materials used in the book.
