This collection of 22 needle-felting projects by Barickman (the Vintage Workshop: Gifts for All Occasions) emphasizes dry-felting techniques in which barbed needles are pushed through colored layers of wool fiber or material, causing them to adhere to one another with no sewing required. The projects range in difficulty from simple coasters to an elaborate jacket. Basic needle-felting information, a photo gallery of finished pieces, full-size templates, and project instructions make this a good title for large public library needlecraft collections.

"I love embellishment and wearing it! And the more unique the better. Whether picking just the right necklace or bracelet to wear or actually creating a garment with embellishment, there is something fun about sharing your creative style with others.

Today's fashions are all about adornment, and hence the opportunity awaits the shopts that embrace this trend in merchandising their stores... Adding needle felted detail to ready-made garments is an option for some quick sampling of the [needle felting] technique..."



Review   Australian CountryThreads - April 1, 2007
"Amy Barickman's book of fun and funky projects is a great introduction to the world of needle felting. There are quick projects to embellish objects you already own, such as wool scarves or -- for the really adventurous-- a woollen winter coat. The woven felt coasters would be a great house-warming gift, or make yourself a sturdy new craft bag. There is a gallery of finished objects at the end of the book to inspire you when you've completed all the project s-- and trust us, you're going to want to make them all."

Review   Giftmaker Magazine - August 1, 2007
"Amy Barickman's wonderful book on needle felting will help you turn wool into felt that is thick and sturdy enough for a puse, mittens or beads, or that is soft, lightweight and delicate, with a drape suitable for scarves. She's filled the book with basic techniques to get you started, plus innovative projects for any taste. Some favorites: a brooch with a cluster of bright red cherries, a business card case, a coaster set, felted buttons and a confetti jacket. All it takes is a barbed felting needle, a short list of supplies and a few hours of time. The technique is fast and easy."
