Creating exciting felt surfaces that are both beautiful and versatile, she demonstrates how to capture the nuances of nature - lines of sea, hedge and grass, cracks in parchedearth, light on early-morning dew, frosted puddles - and translate them into subtleties of texture and stitch.Exploring a variety of strategies for overcoming artists' block, the book is packed with practical ideas for rewilding your creative practice: These include: changing the routes and patterns of your local environment to bring natural patterns into your own work; revisiting past diaries and sketchbooks to find lines, threads and stitches that lead the way forward; transforming recycled cloth by bonding memories, mixed-media and found objects into your work; making cuts and slits in the layers of fabric to reveal the secret stratas of nature and the fragility of the planet beneath.Felt is an incredibly versatile medium, allowing control and creativity that readymade fabrics cannot replicate.
