Aimed at an audience of both general crafters and jewelry artists, this rich collection of 20 projects offers an enlightening introduction to all the important techniques, including forming a flat sheet of felt; rolling and shaping the felt ball into various forms; adding surface embellishments; and stringing and wirework.
