Nuno is the Japanese word for woven material. This book is subtitled- techniques and inspiration for accessories and home interiors. It explores the making of scarves, shawls, throws, wall-hangings and cushions as well as bags. The projects are very grown-up and sophisticated and not the primary colours and teenage-type products often made with felt. The author produces fine layers of work influenced by organic forms and nature.
To produce these sumptuous items, Liz Clay combines the traditional wool fibres with natural woven fibres from chiffon to muslin as well as synthetic fibres. Lightweight, almost gossamer fabrics can be produced in this way, instead of the chunkier woollen felted look we are used to. The cutwork scarf is a technique I shall be trying out. There is much useful information on techniques such as choice of materials, dyeing and embellishments. The projects are practical and fun with easy to follow instructions.
This lavishly illustrated book fires the senses and makes you want to produce something in felted material. The sensuous softness comes across, the ability of felt to blend and meld is there, the captivating colours. One element is missing and that is a good resources section for materials and further reading.
This handsome book will grace any shelf just as much as the projects will add a touch of sophistication to home and to your wardrobe. All in all, this is a fabulous inspiration to those who already work with felt or are looking for a new craft.

I thought this was good from a techniques point of view, but the finished items didn't look terribly attractive. Given that nuno felting is all about texture, I thought the photography was quite poor and didn't show the textures very well. Plenty of good ideas, however.
