2.0 out of 5 stars disappointing, June 1, 2007

By	Lisa Phillips "beadwoman" (milwaukee, WI) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I love Nicky Epstein's work and think her creativity is amazing. However, other than the cover item, nothing in this small book was interesting. The directions are for a piece of fruit, 2 rather ugly small cases, a VERY ugly hat, etc. I returned this.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nicky Epstein's Beginner's Guide to Felting, March 8, 2007

I love anything tht Nicy Epstein does..she's a unique designer. I think that I wish that this book had had a couple more items that weren't so 'boutique' and more maybe weareable..but then beginners do lern how to knit making simple things like ipod containers etc. Her instructions on felting were, however, exactly what is needed.

This book is excellent if you want to learn the craft of felting. The projects are pretty simple to learn and the instructions are easy to understand which is the most important part if you are new to felting.
