Product Description
Acclaimed fiber artist Catherine O'Leary introduces her distinctive, painterly approach to nuno felting with trademark techniques that make the craft easier to master, more creative, and more personal. Her exciting innovation, nuno pre-felts, integrates commercially printed fabric into the process and then uses these patterned pieces as design elements to create artful wearables and accessories. O'Leary explores principles of art and composition, like shape, color, and texture, and offers aspiring feltmakers inspirational projects plus a gallery of works illustrating the wide-ranging possibilities of her method.

Fresh, Original and Inspiring!, Nov 7 2011
By Marie "ZQuilts" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: From Felt to Fabric: New Techniques in Nuno Felting (Paperback)
Nuno felting has had a wide following for many years and this book takes the nuno felting process into a new direction. Catherine O'Leary has produced a beautiful volume - and introduces us to using a variety of fabrics (silks included of course!) on top of felt to create a wide range of fantastic textures, modular units and endless possibilities. I think this book will have wide appeal for all textile artists, felters, clothes mavens, and, most certainly, nuno felters! I love finding a familiar technique used in a fresh, stylish and utterly delightful way! This is really an excellent book and it should have a place in your permanent textile arts library!From haute couture to utilitarian the possibilities presented in this book are myriad! Pull up a cuppa, relax and Enjoy!

Nice pictures, instructions so-so, Dec 12 2011

This review is from: From Felt to Fabric: New Techniques in Nuno Felting (Paperback)
This book has some lovely pictures of very, very creative elaborate nuno felting. It also includes a good description of the most basic felting. There is nothing in between. It would be nice if there were instruction for one, just one of the more elaborate designs. But no, you just have to guess. The book wasn't all that expensive so I guess I'm not sorry I bought it, but I really wish the author has thought to add just a couple of pages on how to make some of the lovely jackets and scarves pictured. It's and ok book, with a little more it could have been really great. Sigh.

Interesting techniques!, Dec 9 2011
By CuteEverythingcom - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: From Felt to Fabric: New Techniques in Nuno Felting (Paperback)
From Felt to Fabric is written by Catherine O'Leary, a talented artist from Australia. I was new to this technique of nuno felting which is basically accomplished by felting wool fiber through woven cloth. From Felt to Fabric tells how to make wool and nuno prefelts which can then be used alone or with other fabrics. The author uses this technique to make creative and unique clothing, art, and accessories and the resultant pieces are made largely of organic shapes and textures. She also takes artistic principles like light, shade, color and more to weave together unique pieces of nuno felting into something unique and special.
