This is what I've been searching for, ideas for using my machine felter to do more than punch wool roving into felt.
The author's artistic work transcends the usual "heaviness" of fabric embellishing and felting, and creates a more ethereal, versatile look, applicable to many more textile venues. By following her examples and instructions, it is easy to create lovely items that are as "at home" in warm Florida, as chilly Alaska.
She begins by using her machine embellisher to literally create fabric that is totally original, one-of-a-kind, and gorgeous. Then she uses her fabric to create amazing pieces of textile art, taking the embellishing process "up another notch", making beautiful items. And, she makes it easy to do! I've tried her techniques, and within an hour, made the evening bag project she details in the book. I amazed myself, LOL!
The projects are varied and fun, and the directions and patterns are easy to follow. Margo Duke has written an excellent book, providing both machine embellisher/felter fans and hand felting fans with a new look and new options. I highly recommend purchasing this book. It is a resource of techniques, applications, and projects you will want to keep, and refer back to, often.
