Pressestimmen
Myshelf.com: Here is another title in Search Press' new series, Twenty To Make. These books feature twenty ideas (plus variations) for crafters in a number of popular crafts, so far mostly jewellery making. Here is a book showing a whole new way of making your own beads using an easily available and versatile material - felt. Wow! I love making jewellery, and am always keen to see a new method, especially if it involves few materials and gives me a chance to use up odd bits and pieces. Felt is easily obtainable, and once you have mastered the simple way of making the beads (note: this is not about felt making, but making beads out of pre-made felt) you are away on a journey through color and texture, adding a few beads left over from other projects and pretty threads to make some wonderful wardrobe-extending pieces. The designs have names inspired by sweets, desserts and pop and are in a range of glorious colors. As well as necklaces and chokers, there are also instructions for making earrings, bangles, hair barrettes and headbands for weddings or any other occasion. Alternate ways of extending this new idea presented themselves to me as I rooted through my bead stash, as they will to you. Easy to make, fun to do and wholly addictive - my favorite in this series to date. Workshop On the Web: A little book with a little price but with some good ideas. Basically, all you do is roll a piece of felt tightly around a stick and bind or stitch it together. They can then be beaded, wrapped, made into tubes, threaded with other beads or knotted onto cords. Fun necklaces and wrist bands - even a hair slide are shown here. The photographs could be a little clearer but, at GBP4.99, who's going to complain. One for fun. Sew Today: Two delightful A5 books from a series of titles called Twenty to Make. "Wild Women" refers to the characters featured and depicted as stitched art brooches. They are all fun, wild and wacky, made from easily accessible materials and open to interpretation. Basic tools include felt, scissors, needles (including a beading needle), sewing and embroidery threads and brooch backs. Some experience of free machine embroidery may be required for some of the projects. "Beaded Felt Jewellery" combines two of today's craft trends. Helen shows how to use the humble felt square to create sophisticated and fashionable jewellery without the need for specialist materials or wet, soapy hands. All designs are based around eight simple methods for binding and decorating felt beads. Bead Society of Great Britain: One of a series of "20 to Make" books. This is a fun book guaranteed to inspire beaders and embroiderers alike. Particularly good for those with a large stash of beads to be used up, and also for those who find small beads difficult to see and use. The basic idea is to roll felt around a stick and then embellish it. Given instructions to start - the possibilities are endless. The beads are light and easy to wear and it is possible to match almost any colour scheme. Joan Everard
