This artistic, inspirational guide to wearable art shows you how to nuno-felt patterns and textures into luxurious fabrics like georgette, chiffon, and silk, then design garments to feature them. Using only hand friction, soap, and water, bond wool and silk fibers together to create lightweight, one-of-a-kind clothing and accessories. Fashion designer Jenny Hill's striking, comfortable high-end garments have many fans in the world of artisan fashion, and she teaches you her environmentally friendly processes. Learn the techniques and skills with 7 tutorial-approach projects: marbled scarf with fringe, 3-D textured poncho, felt fur vest, hand-dyed airy tunic, embroidered bolero jacket, tailored blazer, jacket option, and luxurious gown. Each project has instructions, beautiful close-up photography of the steps, and fashion photos of the finished piece.
What people are saying:
“When this book arrived, I devoured it!! Then with projects in mind, I focused on a couple of her projects to really understand the techniques. I spent this past weekend making my first felt garment .... I had massive success! Its gorgeous and it fits!! Following Jenny's steps is understandable and translates well from book to hands on! I am so grateful she wrote this book and can't recommend it more to anyone who has wanted to create a felted garment. She is a Pro and presents easy to follow projects. Thank you Jenny for sharing your talents and your techniques!!” — Carol
“My felting library is extensive, but I find Jenny Hill’s 2019 Artisan Felting Wearable Art a fresh, new addition that I not only treasure, but frequently use. As an internationally-known wearable art designer, Jenny remains true to her roots of pursuing an art she loves. Her enthusiasm for felt-making permeates the book. I consider this book Jenny’s gift to aspiring felters—and to those of us who are always looking to expand our existing skills. Her words, “This is the felter’s guidebook that I wished existed when I first learned how to felt!” ring true to those of us who appreciate the knowledge and experience Jenny shares.” — Deb
