Variety of Projects,
By Regina Flame (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Big Book of Needle Felting (Leisure Arts #4414) (Paperback)
I loved the variety of projects shown in this book. It has convinced me to take my first steps into felting fabric to sew a jacket for myself. I particularly liked the separate sections on jewelry and garments. It expanded my felting horizons beyond scarves and sculpture.

This review is from: The Big Book of Needle Felting (Leisure Arts #4414) (Paperback)
My last article was a book review on Needle Felting Artful Fashion by, Judy Jacobs and Kay Kaduce who also author this book. I received The Big Book of Needle Felting coauthored by, Judy Jacobs, Kay Kaduce and Jewelry Artist, Rona Horn giving us a diverse book covering over fifty stunning projects. This beautiful book is filled with wonderful pictures and information on needle felting. Meet Rona Horn!
These three ladies have gotten together to bring us an abundance of new fun ideas and innovative designs. One of the themes in this book covers all the holidays and with fall almost upon us I will want to try the colorful and unique wreath and the adorable pumpkins. I think when you purchase this book you will want to try several of the ladies' projects. The lovely flower and jewelry can be given as a teacher's gift or to adorn a special gift package with artful wearable embellishments. The felted jewelry is fun and lovely and you will want to try several ideas in this area. You will also want to acquire many of the materials and supplies so beautifully pictured as you get into needle felting. Three wonderful ladies share their specialties with us in this book and I am sure you will find several projects you will want to try. The creations are so lovely and fun to wear and give. Thank you ladies for sharing you art with the entire world. http://felting.craftgossip.com/2008/08/14/the-big-book-of-needle-felting-2/
