I bought this book along with 'I Felt Awesome' as an introduction to needle felting. I guess I was swayed by the penguin on the front!
There is a useful introduction to wool fibres at the beginning, this author uses fleece from her own sheep for her projects, which I think, after a little more reading into the subject and some practice, becomes apparent in the finished article. A lot of the projects just look a little too woolly and unfinished to me, but that is just my preference and felting style. I have ended up not using this book too much, prefering the technique and style of writing in the other book i purchased, but like I say, thats just my preference.
I wouldn't buy this book for a friend.
