Magic Wool: Creative Pictures and Tableaux with Natural Sheep's Wool Paperback – November 15, 2011

"The enchantment of fairy-tale wool figures lies in the soft unconstricted forms and the delicate, yet living colours obtained by layering techniques" quote from the Introduction, page 11.Magic Wool: Creative Pictures and Tableaux with Natural Sheep's Wool is a savory visual treat for anyone who likes fairy tales/stories expressed in an art form. The book is as much about appreciating fiber art as it is in suggesting imaginative projects. This brief book does include some how-tos and helpful teaching points; however, some readers (particularly beginners) might wish for much more depth, more details, more specifics than what is presented here. [I've uploaded some images to give potential buyers an idea of the what to expect inside. They should appear on the book's Amazon page.] Wool picture examples are discussed briefly in Magic Wool, and they usually do not offer a detailed instruction set for completion. This fact could be a deal breaker for people who prefer a step-by-step guide to creating wool pictures.Overall, I personally like the book because it inspires me creatively and challenges me as I try to make my own wool pictures and figures.Book Sections:Forward / IntroductionMaterials (Base and Wool)Laying Out A Wool PictureSome Advice for Creating Pictures (Practical Hints & Care)Making Wool Pictures With ChildrenUsing LeftoversPictures With Stories / Examples-Images with brief commentaryThe Twleve Faires (Brier Rose) / The Star Thalers / Rumplestileskin / Snow White and Red Rose / Cinderella / Saint Christopher / The Christmas Rose / The Shepard / Children Playing / The Little Donkey / The Frog Prince / Saint Francis / Three Angels .
