needle felter Sharp presents a collection of 20 wool figures,
mainly animals, plus a couple of mythical creatures for good
measure. Beginning with basic techniques for needle felting, Sharp
quickly moves on to simple projects intended to get newbie felters
comfortable with the tools and techniques. Unlike other
needle-felting books, this one describes and illustrates each step
of the process, which makes it easy for felters of all skill levels
to replicate any of the creations in the book. With minor changes
in color or shape, many of the basic patterns could be used to
create different creatures (the goldfinch, for example, could
become a cardinal). Highly recommended. - Library Journal,
