Book Description

Create 12 stunning needle-felted woodland-themed works of art, using simple wool-painting and mixed-media techniques.

New from popular crafter and best-selling author Jo Lochhead, creator of the Crafty Kit Company (@craftykitcompany).

Inspired by the Scottish countryside and a worldwide palette of woodlands, wildlife and open skies, all 12 delightful projects reflect the rich textures and colours of nature. You’ll find everything from autumn leaves to woodland animals, with each design capturing a little piece of outdoor beauty to place inside your home.

  • It’s easy to get started: whether you are a complete beginner, or just looking for artistic inspiration, needle felting is an easy, enjoyable craft. Everything you need to get started is covered in the book: from key tools and essential techniques, to framing and displaying your finished pieces.
  • 12 inspiring projects, clearly explained: follow the illustrated step-by-step instructions and use the full-size templates and stencils to create your own stunning nature-inspired scenes.
  • Push your creative boundaries: incorporate embroidery techniques, watercolour, felt fabric and small foraged items, which add extra dimension and texture to bring your woodland scenes to life.

With just a few simple tools and some wool fibres, you too can create beautiful wool-painted woodland works of art!
