Thank you for your congrats!
It's not a paper book - it's an ebook - but we reckon that's better because it's quicker and easier to get wherever you are in the world.
We (my daughter, Annie, and myself are 'rosiepink') sell it through our blog and etsy and New England Felting Supply has just added it to their online catalogue.
It's a step-by-step, very visual guide aimed at beginners and perhaps felters who haven't tried to make pictures, and we've had some excellent feedback.
Pleasingly we've had textile students send us photos of work they've done for their finals, using the ebook as a tutor/guide.

Sorry Zed - something got lost in translation.
I've got the actual Felt mag (I've got a subscription through Manor House UK) - it's just that sometimes people think 'Creating Felt Artwork' is a paper book.
'Felt' is a great mag - but I recommend laminating the pages before you read it so that drool will not make it soggy!
Can't help it - I go all gooey when I look at fibre things.
p.s. (Do check this info) but if anyone in the UK wants a subscription to 'Felt' I think it's much cheaper to go through Manor House Magazines because to buy it direct from Australia incurs high postage costs .

Is my accent that bad? That's a good tip, thanks, Lyn. I almost faint at the postage when Karen sends me anything You should promote your ebook more, from 'Felt' it looks great. |

I just contacted manor House. £5.25 per issue. Haven't seen anything about postage as yet, but imagine local? - Thanks Lyn, looking forward to reading your article.

Yes Shelley, I paid £10.50 for two issues (Dec 11 and Jun 12) and that includes postage. Very good I thought.
