THE ART OF FELTMAKING by Anne Vickrey List Price: $24.95 I like books that are more than they seem. I thought this was just a children's project book using dyed and undyed bits of fleece and rudimentary felting techniques to make beads and figures. After a closer look, I started seeing the abundance of useful felting lore from around the world. After the simple children's work come the Swedish and Nomadic coats, boots, etc. All this information with nice color illustrations of articles and techniques will make teachers happy and wool artists inspired by this ancient craft. |

The result is felts that are visually similar to watercolors, but which are totally made of dyed fiber. There is no actual painting involved, unless you consider the placement of each individual colored fiber as "painting" with the fiber. |
