Feltmaking is a popular medium for craftsmen; but few have explored its potential as an art form. This new book demonstrates the exciting scope of pictorial feltmaking and explains how to create felt pictures with the depth and atmosphere usually associated with a graphite drawing or a watercolour painting. Written by a leading felt artist; it shows how to work freely with the wool as if it were paint or a piece of charcoal. Covers essential feltmaking skills for the beginner; as well as techniques and inspiration for the more experienced feltmaker; with advice on how drawing and painting skills; such as perspective composition and the use of colour; can be applied to felt pictures. Illustrated with stunning pictures of finished works; as well as practical demonstrations; it also includes a guide to the presentation and framing of work.

It is a lovely treasure! I did want to note; that it is only the letters that he has written; so there is not a reply; you are only seeing his portion of the conversation so at times you may not fully understand what he may be replying to. I did not find this to be an issue in reading; I just wanted to note in case it may help another readers expectations of the book.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Its really a good window into the composers day to day lifeBy mobius4ninerInteresting read and a must have for any Chopin fan. Its really a good window into the composers day to day life. It also gives a good picture of his personality and character. Many of the letters dont make sense because we do not see any of the replies. But reading his words helped me better appreciate playing his music.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
