Once I decided that I wanted to illustrate with felt , I was on the hunt for anything and everything illustrated with felt or fabric. It has been easier said than done,though. If you come across any books illustrated in this unique medium, please let me know. Thanks to those of you that have helped me so far! It always feels like I've been given gold.
Here are some of my discoveries so far:
Oh, those are all so pretty. I really like the idea of a Christmas book with felt illustrations. Cool! Actually, I'd love a set of holiday books--Halloween, Thanksgiving, Valentine's day...all those months where my mom got crafty when I was a kid!

The pud has a book very similar to the Princess stories you have posted, every time I read it I think how the felt gives it such a warm, cozy feel and I think of your awesome illustrations. :)

Hi Roz...for some reason I can't see your links...?? :o( There's just "Here are some of my discoveries so far:" and nothing after that in my view. Obviously from other comments, it sounds like a personal problem of mine.

Now I'll have to give my huge home library a perusal--Claire Beaton has many books you know--and Salley Mavor too. I may have to make a trip to the post office now--when are you moving?!

We're moving in October.
Thanks everyone!
