Esprit Folk Art

Esprit Folk Art
By Marianne Byrne Goarin
MLAP 193
Bilingual edition French/English

Woolfelt forever! It’s Marianne’s motto! She loves its soft texture so easy to work with and its large variety of colours. It is so easy and relaxing to work with and also so forgiving. No fuss when cutting, no frayed edges, so easy to appliqué even for beginners. Felt is ideal to experiment with: cut, fold, embellish, embroider and be creative.
In this bilingual book, (French/English) Marianne has created decorative and useful home projects. Her palette is tinted with pink, strawberry red, plum and for the first time with white, to create a fresh and feminine look. She got inspired by Folk Art as well as scrapbooking, her other passion, embellishing the appliqués with the simplest embroidery stitches, giving a more contemporary look to her creations. Marianne would like to encourage all of you to experiment with her designs, changing the colours to blend them in your own décor.  
Woolfelt doesn’t need perfection, so just be creative and have fun!

This book will be published beginning of February 2012 and available at the Aiguille en Fête show in Paris (February 9 – 12, 2012.
