Synopsis

Building on the felting techniques explored in Art in Felt & Stitch and Flowers in Felt & Stitch, this book shifts the focus to finding and developing inspiration for your own felt painting. Readers are invited into Moy’s colourful sketchbooks and photographs to understand her design process and influences, and to explore how ideas are shaped into finished work.

Moy guides you through each stage of felt-making before demonstrating how to create four felt paintings across a range of subjects. Guidance covers hand- and machine-stitching, using colour, and introducing texture with different fibres and threads, with numerous examples of her work throughout, inspired by the dramatic scenery of the Scottish Borders where she lives and works.
