BOOK OF TOUCH

Here is  a sample of a book of touch. This was made with prefelt needlefelt and a ton of other techniques all put together for someone with limited sight but also fun to use with children and other groups. these little books can be made with a million ideas in mind.

Invent your own crazy fun little books at one of my workshops..

TEXTILE JEWELLERY WITH A DIFFERENCE

Textile jewellery with a difference. . Some textile mixes  and using felts fabrics and all sorts to create fun pieces.

Memory Book

I have been teaching how to make these books as a source of therapy in reminiscence  projects for people that have impared memory and have produced various ones for sight touch smell etc but also for just keeping little things in. Some of my other students have crated textile books for nursery rhymes, children's stories, the seasons, old photographs and many other uses.
Here are some sample pages from a book of smell.. smell is one of the things that take you back in time and its a great way of starting a conversation about the past..

This book was full of herbs and spices and Iv used techniques in wet felting such as  nuno felting and pre felt

Nunno felting a few samples

Here are a few samples of  nuno felting using scraps of found fabrics
