Since I am not a felter, I thought I would provide the publisher's description of the book:
"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."
All that is just to say that this looks like an easy, vibrant method of creating art-to-wear without the technical process being too complicated. The instructions look clear and easy to follow, and there are tons of gorgeous pictures for illustration and inspiration.
As I said, I'm not a felter, so I'm giving this brand-new book away. If you'd like a chance at winning it, just leave me a Comment below, and I'll have a drawing on Monday. Good luck!
Linda,
ReplyDeleteI like to felt and would love the book! Not sure what else to comment. BTW - it was great to see you at IQF
I'm fascinated with Nuno felt! And I NEED something to do....
ReplyDeleteI would be interested in learning more about nuno felting. I have a felting machine but am not fully conversant yet.
ReplyDeleteMe! Me! LOL! Would love to have this book.
ReplyDeleteAlways in the market for new Fiber Books! Would like to check this one out.
ReplyDeleteThat anonymous was me - Laura. (this one too!)
ReplyDeletelooks fun! The cover art is pretty!
ReplyDeleteI have just returned from a week at John C Campbell Folk School in Brasstown, NC . I was enthralled with the felting class and decided that felting would be the next thing to explore, especially since when I saw the pieces that they produced. Reading your comments made me think that this book would be a good guide for my future endeavor
ReplyDeleteOh, I would love to have this book, felting has always fascinated me.
ReplyDeleteI would love this book. I have been looking for a nuno felting book for a long time. I am facinated by the lightweight, yet solidness of the nuno felted piece.
ReplyDeleteThis is something I haven't spent the time to learn yet. I've been machine felting for awhile, but nuno felting is a whole different matter.Very intriguing. Thanks for the opportunity Linda! Gail
ReplyDeleteNot sure the last one went through (when I signed in, it wanted me to create a blogger account, which I didn't want to do, so not sure the sign-in took) So trying to repost. I felt (see a few pieces at www.nightstitcher.com) and would love to have the book.

I love nuno felting which I learned how to do in Georgia (country not state). I've incorporated knitting into felting but never printed fabric. Sounds intriguing. Thanks for the chance!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to win this book. I've done some work with nuno felting but it was a long time ago and need a refresher.
ReplyDeleteI have been exploring felting this past year and find some wonderful possibilities with the technique for additions to both my knitted work and my work with textiles as art. I would so love to add this book to my book collection on the subject. Every piece of writing had some little bit of information that enhances the success I find with the techniques called felting. Thanks for making the offer to have a draw for this book.

ReplyDeleteHi there!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a really useful and interesting book. I've done some felting, and would love to learn more. Thanks for doing this give-away. It is very nice of you!
Yum, book looks great. I have felted lots to make some of my dimensional cloth, and have added sliver threads to it, but never fabrics. Would love to read more!

ReplyDeleteI love felt, thanks for the chance to win this book! Sandy A
ReplyDeleteFelting...one of the oldest forms of changing fiber into fabric. In my part of the world native peoples felted dog and goat hair.
ReplyDeleteI have so admired the nuno felted art pieces I saw in our museum shows. Even though my small efforts would not reach those lofty heights, it would still be gratifying and fun to learn how to do this.
