Extremely inspiring book!,
By Swordfish F. "Swordfy" (Wonderamaland, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Needle Felting - to the Point: Needle Felting Techniques (Paperback)
I recently got this book and it's worth every penny.
What I particularly like about it compared to other needle felting books is that it isn't geared toward specific "projects" which don't really interest me. This is a problem I've had with project-oriented books in general - I have to figure out on my own how to transform one project into something I really want to make. Harlan is very thorough in her explanations of techniques, materials, etc., and after reading this book I feel well prepared to make creations of my own design. Her own creations are amazing and inspiring, she shows how you can make virtually anything out of a ball of wool and a needle. I can't wait to get started!

This review is from: Needle Felting - to the Point: Needle Felting Techniques (Paperback)
I have a lot of needle felting books, this being the best one yet. She guides you through the shapes, then how to put them together. There is a couple of projects, they are fun and help one learn how the shapes work together. I loved how she teaches. Learning to make realistic fur was very neat. There are photos of tiny kittens she makes on some of the pages. Beautiful work! This is not a project book, it is a book on how to truly needle felt. How one puts together what they learn is up to them. I found it creative. I used to be a potter sculptor. I know how shapes went together... with stoneware clay. Using wool and a sharp needle, the concept of making and putting together shapes had to be altered to work with the medium and tools. This is a must-have book for me.
