Enchanting Book December 23, 2008
I fell in love with this book at first sight but was afraid that the projects in it were unattainable - they were cute in the book but I could never produce anything like. But - I was proved wrong!! I would not call them completely simple to make - you have to have patience to embroider and practice making the bodies but where there is a will there is a way. I have created a number of dolls and am giving them to my daughters for Christmas. True - the dolls are not from plastic casts and will suffer damamge but then I can enjoyably make more. All said and done the dolls are not very expensive to make. Some might be snafooed by having to paint the faces but there are ways around this too. There are other wool felt projects in it too like little purses and pins. Totally adorable!! and no painting required. To conclude - if you are craftsy and good with your hands AND like fairies you probably will really enjoy this book.
Felt wool that actually is usefull June 14, 2008
If you are really into felted wool this book contains nice little wallet type bags that are stunning. Sally Mavor's work is awe inspiring and worth the price of this book. Everything you could wish for
Beautiful and Fun! May 18, 2008
If you want to look at truly innovative and beautiful art, this is the book. I love to look at art books, as well as make stuff, so I found this book truly satisfying. You must have it in your collection, if only for your own satisfaction. The artist has included extremely good instructions for making the dolls and background. I may get around to it...someday.
 Wonderful felt projects April 13, 2008

Felt Wee Folk is a lovely book filled with photographs and easy directions for making pipe cleaner figures, some as small as 1.5 inches. My daughter loves playing with the flower fairies I've made for her. There are other felt projects as well, although I haven't tried any yet. I'd give the book five stars if I didn't have to flip back and forth across a couple pages for directions, but the more dolls I make, the less I have to do that.
I love This Book April 9, 2008
Felt Wee Folk is one of the most inspirational books I have come across in a long time, I just love it. Readers can't help but be captivated by these little Wee Folk and their magical world. The book contains lots of ideas for different characters, including ideas for both boys and girls. Also included are other projects made from felt like badges and purses that are equally enchanting. I can't wait to start some projects from this book for my children. Highly recommend this book to other craft people, particularly hand sewers.
