Do You Need Inspiration for your Stash?

A lot of us are focussing on using up the stash rather than adding to the stash until we see how the economy is going to shake out.  Do you need some help with ideas?  We are in the middle of paring down our books in order to focus on our four key areas (weaving, spinning, felting and dyeing).  As a consequence we are offering incredible deals on a number of really excellent books that we ordered because we loved them….but they don’t exactly fit into those categories.

Intertwined is a great inspiration for spinning “outside the box”.  The photographs are beautiful, the text amusing and the price is a mere $20.

Heartfelt is an inspiration for people who want to create or use up felt in a variety of functional and beautiful garments and accessories.  The photography is gorgeous and the price is $15.50  If you have felt or feltables (can you say old sweater?) and some embroidery skills this book will inform and inspire.

Color – Elegant Designs to Stitch $15.50  Surface decoration techniques including embroidery, felt applique and beading.  This book will inspire you to diminish more than your wool stash. 

Colorworks by Deb Menz $17.50  This is not a how to book, unless your trying to learn how to look at your fabric, fiber and bead stash with new eyes.  Menz provides a step by step analysis of color and will completely change your opinions of what color goes beautifully with what color.
