This arrived yesterday and I spent the evening pouring over each page. It is fabulous! Wished there were photos of Carol Cypher's work in it, but enjoyed everyone else's felt interpretations. Awesome woolen eye candy and worth every cent!

What a gorgeous book! It is amazing, with so many incredible examples of felt fiber art, it takes my breath away.

The juror for this book was Susan Brown, associate curator of textiles at the Cooper Hewitt, National Design Museum in New York City. Brown was curator of the 2009 exhibit, Fashioning Felt, which was a spectacular assemblage of felt art.

The diverse objects run the gamut from garments to sculptural forms to home decor, with many stops in additional categories along the way. With so many diverse objects pictured, the layout of the book must have been a wonderful challenge. Art Director Matt Shay's thoughtful choices make the book a lovely pleasure to behold. You'll have to pick up the book for yourself to see how beautifully put together it is.

Full Disclosure: I am really, truly honored to be included in this international group of fiber artists ... on page 248. :)

500 Felt Objects: Creative Explorations of a Remarkable Material is brimming over with charge-your-engine, challenge-your-mind feats in felted wool. I was thrilled to see a wide range of felt from industrial design through conceptual work, to traditional pieces and high fashion items. It's a remarkable panorama of what is going on with felt today and a definite one to have at home.

I am truly honored to be included (Hibiscus Rose Scarf & Oat Tendril Scarf)

A gallery of pictures of amazing garments, hats sculptures made of felt, by amazing artists. It is not a 'how to ' book, but an inspiring insight into what can be done in this incredible fabric.

This book is not only full of amazing artworks, but also embraces the myriad of ways artist use wools and felts. The images are stunning and inspiring. A must have for your library.

There are 500 really astonishing objects on about 500 exceptional photographs, selected with great care and knowledge. A wonderfully inspiring image book.

This is a beautiful, inspiring book for fiber artists. Such an incredible variety of objects and techniques. Thanks Lark for making this series!

This book is a real treat for fibre artists and any one who appreciates texture, color and form! The vast variety of examples is stunning, its one to pour over time and time again. I am honored to have a piece in this book ( Fish Series, Robin Wiltse) and I am truly inspired by what I see.

This is such a beautiful book! My husband and I thumbed thru it together the first time. It has been in my possession every since. Great value for the money, don't know why it's not being sold full price. It would make a great gift for any fiber artist. -L. Oliver
