Book Description

April 27 2012

In this visually stunning book, Moy Mackay reveals how to create beautiful pictures using felt instead of paint. Every part of the process is covered, including the materials and tools needed, the felt-making process itself, and how to put together four fabulous felt painting projects. There is guidance on stitching, including both hand and machine stitching, as well as an emphasis on how to use color and introduce texture in the form of different fibers and threads. Numerous examples of Moy’s vibrant work appear through the book to serve as inspiration.

Product Description

Review

"This is a terrific book. I loved all of it from the pictorial instruction to the illustrations of completed work. Includes general detailed instructions on how to wet felt so that once you understand the technique, you can create your own felt pictures inspired by Moy's work." —www.YarnsAndFabrics.co.uk


"This is a book which will inspire, delight and instruct and may lead the reader on to experiments of their own or you can just enjoy it for its wonderful images." —Felt Matters (June 2012)


"The four projects and numerous examples of Moy's work complete this visual feast, which cannot fail to inspire and excite painters and textile artists alike." —Fabrications (June 2012)


"There are four projects, which take you through the processes used to create a patchwork landscape, birds, flowers and a still-life (teacup and cakes). If this book doesn't persuade you to explore the creativity of felting, nothing will." —Stitch (June 2012)

5.0 out of 5 stars Unspeakably beautiful Mar 13 2013
By Dorothyanne Brown TOP 500 REVIEWER
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Wonderfully inspiring. I have this on my craft shelf and plan to follow many of the suggestions once I get my new craft space set up. The projects in this book, while wildly artistic and challenging, serve more as inspiration than intimidation. It makes me want to get going, now, and try to match such beauty.

5.0 out of 5 stars The perfect book on Felt Art Oct 7 2012
By J. M. Arden - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I am very happy indeed that I bought this beautiful book. It contains wonderful works made by the artist, using colour and texture to create impressionist works of landscapes, nature and still lives. It also has detailed projects with excellent instructions and stage by stage photos, so that you can learn to make similar small works. Moy Mackay shows not only how to make up the felt art, mainly wet felting but also needle felting, but how to embellish it with stitching both by machine and by hand.

This is a book to drool over and to use as a practical guide. A quality product in all senses.

5.0 out of 5 stars Inspirational! Aug 15 2012
By Fibrefriend - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This book provides inspiration for felters and textile artists. Moy's instructions are clear and concise, while allowing for personal creativity. Her examples are awe-inspiring, but at the same time encouraging individual application of the techniques. This book has provided me with the techniques to add to my own toolbox, and at the same time fostering creativity and a preparedness to have a go at methods I might not have tried before.
