Beginner's Guide to Needle Felting by Susanna Wallis
 
In this great beginner's book, Susanna Wallis demonstrates how to create wonderful pictures and three-dimensional objects using wool and simple needle felting techniques.  Learn how to make charming cards, pictures, jewellery, a bird and even a figure from wool.  The book features:
simple techniques, clearly explained
step by step photographs
six inspirational projects (shown on the cover)
 
The projects range from a simple design for card making to a country scene, complete with fluffy sheep, to a felt tea set!   Pictures show variations of the projects too, for more inspiration.   Designed for beginners, the projects are simple to follow, with a good variety of techniques covered, including both flat and dimensional needle felting - plenty to instruct and inspire your own projects.   With just some basic materials (needles, wool, foam) you can explore the technique without a lot of expense, and you'll gain lots of tips that will enhance and improve your work when making needle felt projects from kits too.   Basic skills explained include using raw wool to make felt balls, carding your fibres to blend colours and how to create armature (or 'skeletons') using pipe cleaners to shape and support your work.
