Cute Birds to Make with Needle Felting: 35 Clearly Explained Projects with Step by Step Instructions Paperback – October 15, 2019

The author shared her needle felting techniques of making some very cute and colorful birds. This book is very good for the confident beginner needle felter, looking to Improve skills in making birds. One previous reviewer stated that there were not instructions in making a kingfisher or hummingbird. Actually, the author showed her picture of her kingfisher on page 24, with her instructions on page 69. The author provided no real picture of a hummingbird or instructions. But, that was all probably only an error by an editor or translation into English, I suppose. The book is actually very good. I recommend it.Another needle felting book that I highly recommend, is A Masterclass in Needle Felting Dogs, by the rather famous needle felting artist, Cindy-Lou Thompson.I received that book this past month, after ordering it from a 3rd party seller that Amazon referred us to use. But, now, Amazon plans to have the Needle Felting Dogs book available for us in the United States on Dec. 15, 2020! That is wonderful, because this book is fabulous for the advanced beginner to intermediate needle felter, looking to Improve skills in making dogs. The author was kind enough to share her skills in making armature, and special techniques in making eyes and nose and feet, and much, much more.So, if you are interested in improving your skills in needle felting, I recommend these 2 books. Both now available to order on Amazon. Needle felting is overall very relaxing and a fun and creative activity. These 2 books may possibly be great gifts for you to drop off to your friends or loved ones this coming Holiday season, for them to maybe use during this long, Covid19 winter, when living rather isolated at home. Could be fun gifts for yourself or for others. I am pleased that I have both books and both books are quite useful and enjoyable.

Very good directions and photos, I even successfully completed a few of the birds and I am a beginner. She shows how to create different sized basic bird bodies in detail which is great for creating your own variety. She then goes on to show you how to create quite a few specific birds from sparrows to flamingos. Would recommend this book for anyone interested in needle felting some beautiful birds.

Just got this book and I think it is one of my favorites. Lots of cute projects and the instructions are good. Maybe not for the beginner, but a must have for your library.
