Best book I found for needle felting cats. Just wish I could read Japanese and I would give it a 10 rating.
Some of the directions/requirements are not accessable by pictures, otherwise no complaints.
Just found out that a new edition (in English) will be available this Fall. Wait until then and get the best
needle felting book on cats available. I would still highly recommend this book.
Despite being written in Japanese, this book has many clear photographs from which a fibre artist can create the projects offered. The "realistic cats" are very appealing and give a variety of natural positions from which to choose. The quality of the patterns may challenge one's artistic and felting abilities but the comprehensive instructive images include the cat's fur patterns and direction of fur layering. Highly recommended.
I KNEW AHEAD OF TIME THERE WASN'T AN ENGLISH VERSION. THE PICTURES ARE HELPFUL. BUT I HOPE SOMEDAY THEY DO IT IN ENGLISH SO THE MEASUREMENTS ARE UNDERSTANDABLE.
