Kundenrezensionen

Einfach Spitze
Dieses Buch finde ich einfach super. Alleine darin zu schmöckern, macht irrsinnig viel Spaß! Ich würde es mir sofort wieder kaufen!
Es sind viele Anregungen drinnen, angefangen von der einfachen Brosche, über verschiedene Hüte, bis zu Jacken u. Mäntel. Es wird genau erklärt, wie ich mir dafür die Schablonen mache, wie man Nunofilt macht...

fantastiche Farbenzusammenstellung
ich war von Kauf dieses Buches begeistert.Ich verstehe die Sprache zwar nicht gut aber die Fotos regten mich zum sofortigen "nachfilzen" an. Ein Buch zum Kleiderfilzen mit Seide.

Felting Fashion
Ein tolles Buch für Nunofilzer die schon Erfahrung haben.
Tolle Ideen und schöne Bilder, die zum Nacharbeiten motivieren.
