My Favorite Felt Sweets by Joie Staff, translated by Yoko Ishiguro
Good things come to those who wait! If you are a crafter, I am sure you have seen the adorable Japanese craft books on crafting blogs and sites on the Internet. People like you and I question if we can create a project from instructions written in Japanese. Some have been able to use these wondrous books and complete the projects. I did an article about a kit out of Japan and I had many ...

St. Martin's Griffin, 2006

Contemporary design inspiration
Feltmaking - the wet method using wool fibers - is a hard skill to learn from a book. My advice if you've never done it before is start with a class. After the class, you'll be hungry for resources to jog your memory, enhance and extend your new skills, provide design guidance and inspiration and point you in new directions. I like this book because the project samples are so fresh and NOW. ...

inspiration
I too, have the other 2 books by this author, and love her work. Not for the traditionalist, this book I would recommend for those who have a more artistic bent to their work. Inspirational photos and close-ups of the felt work, it almost reads as an artistic photo album, rather than something with patterns and diagrams.
