Nothing New
After seeing Margo's website & having her first book I was expecting a lot more from this book. This one is far more basic then the first book.

Most of the techniques would be better accomplished with a sewing machine rather than a needle felt machine. Many of the items are going to break the expensive needles on one of these machines.

These techniques are all covered in other better books and far more comprehensively, don't waste your money.

Great inspiration!
This book really gets the creative juices flowing. Even if I don't make any projects that are just like what are in the book, it gives me the desire to stretch my imagination! Her projects are a delight for the eye, and the colors she chooses are so luscious. Yes, the creations are for those people who "think outside the box" and who want to do something out of the ordinary. Just wish that there were many more pages to enjoy!
I hope that there will be another book to follow this one from the author.
