Explore the scrumptious possibilities of felt with me as I create hats, boots, wall hangings, figurines, 3D structures and a sketchbook.

The aim of this book is to experiment with a new process and see how it can be combined and layered with sewn textiles, threads and yarns.

I called this book "Melting and Felting", not because there are a great deal of my melting techniques in this book but because the spirit of my work is still the same. It's still about "melting together" different textures into one piece.

Melting and Felting includes:

• Rachel’s really basic and lazy felt technique
• Adding felt to textiles
• Adding textiles to felt- using up those odds and ends and off-cuts
• Adding threads, yarn, string and even moss to felt!
• Felting beads
• Needle-felting flat pictures and figurines
• Hand-stitching into felt with yarn
• Felted shapes
• Felt pictures
• Experimental felted shawls, scarves, hats and boots
• Felt vessels, sculptures, structures and cocoons
• Making a mess!
• Felt sketchbook- using up all those felt experiments
• Crammed full of work in progress photos
