This book was a slight disappointment, as it was rather like so many on themarket, although not a brand new publication, it left new designs alone. however, for a beginner to Felted fabrics, it would be good for the very beginner.
It was colorful and as stated simpple techniques. Basic information.

This review is from: Needle Felting: Simple Techniques, Beautiful Projects (Paperback)

This book helped me when I was just starting out -I had never needle felted before and I picked up this book and one other one. Since then, I've really picked up the craft. This book really appealed to me in part because of the look of it, and the insides are just as cute. The authors have made an excellent book to introduce novices to needle felting, and in a way that makes you feel like you could come up with your own ideas and implement them, at least to play around and improve your skills.

As the last reviewer said, this book does exactly what it says it will - offers simple techniques and beautiful projects. If that's what you're looking for, this does the trick. Loved it!

I purchased this book after receiving (and loving!) the other book by the same authors. The first book helped me get a handle on the skill of needle felting and now I'm seeking out new projects. This book has some of the cutest, hippest ideas! I've been using it to make gifts for friends, and no one can believe I made them myself. I would say this book has inspired creativity in me, as I've even made some changes to things after mastering them. If you knew me you'd understand, that's really something! Great for anyone interested in needle felting.
