Scandinavian style has never been more desirable, with its emphasis on natural materials, light and fresh colours, and classic motifs. Mia Underwood inherited her love of making things from her Danish grandmother, and she understands both the techniques and the heritage of crafts from the Scandinavian countries. In Nordic Crafts she presents over 30 new projects which reflect the traditions of the Scandinavian countries, with a modern twist. Projects for the home include a novel bread basket, and a gorgeously simple bird mobile. For a child's room, there is a beautiful baby blanket, and a woodland scene to hang in the window. For playtime, felt animal masks will fire your child's imagination, while nisse--mischievous elves--are easy to make from scraps of felting wool. The Danish love of coziness and comfort--'hygge'--is reflected in patterns for felted slippers, pointed hats, and snoods for both adults and children. You can even create a swan scarf from nuno felt you have made yourself. Finally, there are things to make for the celebrations that come round every year, including the all-important Christmas decorations, and ideas for decorating your home at Easter, in the Scandinavian way. -- Book jacket.
