No other hand felting book is as comprehensive, as Hand Felted Jewelry and Beads includes both needle-felting and wet-feltmaking techniques covering flat, flat with a resist, 3-dimensional, use of armatures and mediums, color, inclusions, shape, and texture.

And, these techniques are taught step-by-step in a friendly and accessible manner through the creation of beautiful objects of personal adornment. You’ll learn how to make the felted equivalent of lampworked beads, turquoise focal beads, mokume gane look-alikes, and so much more.

Try your hand at the Carved and Beaded Bangle, the unforgettable Flower Lariat, Compositions in Felt and Glass (strung necklaces and bracelets), or the imaginative Felted Bead Diva’s Necklace.

The first-time felter will be guided into this creative and fulfilling fiber art while the seasoned feltmaker will find inspiration, new tips and tricks to add to their repertoire; everyone will relish the gallery of inspirational pieces. Let your imagination soar and get felting!

Carol Huber Cypher teaches workshops on beadwork and feltmaking at fiber conferences, stores, and guilds nationwide. When not teaching, you’ll find her passionately at work in her home studio. “Mine,” says Carol, “is a beadiful, warm, and wooly life.” Carol and her husband live in Esopus, New York.
