Kurzbeschreibung
In 'Felt to Stitch', acclaimed feltmaker Sheila Smith explores the possibilities of making and using handmade felt for stitch. Felt is an incredibly versatile medium that is easy to make and manipulate and provides the ideal base for surface embellishment. Handmade felt allows you a degree of control and creativity that ready-made fabrics cannot replicate. This book shows you how to make your own felt, select and dye your own colours, build unusual textures with felt fibres and further embellishment, and manipulate the felt to produce three-dimensional pieces. With sample projects that illustrate the main techniques, Felt to Stitch will address the main elements of design in felt : * Colour: blending commercially dyed fibres; dyeing processes for wool fibres; applying colour as surface design * Line and shape: methods for creating clear outlines in felt; pre-felts for use on inlay, applique and mosaic. * Texture: combining felt and fabric -- Nuno felt; embellishing with other fibres. Form/three-dimensional felt: seamless hollow forms. * Other techniques: multi-layered felts; low relief; webs/grids.

It's All Here!
12. April 2007
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
I bought this book to use with developmentally disabled adults. These adults live on a ranch, helping care for several fiber producing animals. This book is part of a cottage industry proposal that the staff and I are working on and I couldn't be more pleased. The pictures are vivid (appealing to my imagination) and the presentation is logical and orderly (appealing to the teacher/student part of me).
The directions are simple and straight forward. The projects are adaptable for all levels of cognitive functioning and motor skills, and provide absolutely beautiful results. From making flat felt as a raw material to three dimensional objects, from surface designs to combining felt and fabric, as well as jewelry, this book covers the basics and gives lots of creative ideas for projects. The results that my "students" came up with were lovely, and as always with felt, nearly impossible to duplicate.
The experiences we used from this book were satisfying for those who love texture (wet/dry, bubble wrap, different types of fibers, raw fleece/fulled fabric). They were also satisfying for those who are visually stimulated, as color is well used throughout each project. The surface design ideas were usable by all, regardless of functioning level, because many different options are presented (paint sticks, stitching, stencilling, block printing, beadwork, cobweb, needle felting). The skills required are repetitive and not technical, the materials are easily found and readily available, and the actual individual tasks of going from raw fleece to finished product are varied, interesting and appeal to short-moderate attention spans. The working process provided a wonderful atmosphere for cooperation and conversation, as each adult helped or received help from their peers and shared the excitement as their project began to take shape. We now have finished items that my students can use, sell, or wear and they know which animal gave its fleece to them to make it.
I highly recommend this book to anyone who is fascinated by fiber and feels intimidated by the current "fiber artist" trend. Nearly anybody can make felt and be delighted with the results. This book is an excellent guide to finding the different ways to make and use felt, and is suited for the beginner and the seasoned alike. Excellent!

Well thought out, great instructions. Has directions on decorative felting I haven't found in other books. Ms Smith obviously knows what she is doing. Would highly recommend this to someone looking for different ideas.

I have devoured this book from front to back. It is truly a beautiful book with excellent information and gorgeous pictures.It is very well written with easy to understand instructions for those new to felting as I am.
There are a few projects; again easy to understand and the book encourages the felter to explore their own creativity and generally have a ball!!
Congratulations Sheila Smith on a book which will easily become one of my treasured possessions.
