Art in Felt & Stitch
Author: Moy MacKay
In this visually stunning book, Moy Mackay reveals how you too can create beautiful pictures using felt. Characterized by her wonderful use of color, Moys work is breathtaking and includes still-lifes, animals and landscapes inspired by the dramatic scenery of the Scottish Borders where she lives and works. Moy takes you through every step of the process, including the materials and tools you need, the feltmaking process itself (which is easier than you would imagine), and how to put together four fabulous felt paintings of your own. There is guidance on stitching, including both hand- and machine-stitching, as well as how to use color and introduce texture in the form of different fibres and threads. There are numerous examples of Moys work through the book, and by the end you will not fail to be inspired to create gorgeous felt paintings of your own.
