Books and magazines to inspire.

Like most of us Kirsten likes a good book and frequently looks out for an inspiring title.This signwriting one was a birthday gift she requested .Lots of fabulous pages to drool over and maybe try out!


Sheila Paine ,who died in March ,produced books on World textiles.This one on Amulets inspired Kirsten to make her own.She chose to use a scissors and teacup as this represents a lot of her working day.


These close-ups show the complicated stitches employed along with shisha mirrors and buttons added as embellishments .



She also brought along the Feltmakers magazine 


including an article she contributed giving instructions for a needle felted heart .


During Lockdown the British Wool Association created a book .



On the back cover is pictured one of Kirsten's birds and 




inside an article picturing several of her pieces.


She is truly multi talented.
