From Felt To Fabric: New Techniques In Nuno Felting

Product Description Acclaimed fiber artist Catherine OLeary introduces her distinctive, painterly approach to nuno felting with trademark techniques that make the craft easier to master, more creative, and more personal. Her exciting innovation, nuno pre-felts, integrates commercially printed fabric into the process and then uses these patterned pieces as design elements to create artful wearables and accessories. OLeary explores principles of art and composition, like shape, color, and texture, and offers aspiring feltmakers inspirational projects plus a gallery of works illustrating the wide-ranging possibilities of her method. About the Author Catherine OLeary lives in Victoria, Australia. She has worked with felt for more than 20 years, teaching and exhibiting extensively in Australia. Catherine has been profiled in several magazines, and her work is featured in the gallery of Fabulous Felted Scarves (Lark, 2007) and 500 Tables (Lark, 2009).
