Uniquely Felt is one of my favorite felting books especially for beginners. I got to take felt making classes with Christine a few years back while she was just finishing this book. It is truly a tour-de-force. If you have never made felt before, this is the book for you. Her directions are clear concise and even humorous. She goes over the basics in great detail and offers a number of simple, but not simplistic projects. Even if you have experience felt making, this book is a good addition to your library. For those of you who are advanced you will find her entries on shrinkage, wool types and the more complicated and sophisticated projects a welcome find. The only minor quibble I have with the book is that there is no section on jewelry.  You can purchase this book and others in my books section.
For Jewelry, you will have to go to Carol Cypher's book, Hand Felted Jewelry and beads. Carol's book has clear instructions on how to create jewelry and some very interesting projects. The basics for making the jewelry components and the instructions for embellishing the jewelry is the reason I reach for her book. I would say this book is for intermediate felt makers, but there are plenty of pictures for the beginner, and interesting techniques for the advanced felter.
As always, if you have any questions about these books or other felt queries, feel free to drop me a line, either through comments or through the contact section of my page. Also, you can purchase both these books through my amazon store.
