Here is part two - Needle Felting Short Fur: kzread.info/dash/bejne/eJyJxdOxgNmWgag.html

Thank you for helping me make a cat for my daughter. She will love it ❤

thank you for this video it really helped me. from you i learned how to felt a cat head and now im selling them. i get nice money from selling them and im really thankful to you. im a student and i live in a dorm and i had no job and i was short on money. my mom died and my father left me so im not getting money from them. and selling felted cat heads is a perfect job for me because im antisocial and an anxious and introvered and im too scared to get a 'normal' job. i couldnt even imagine being a waitress or a cashier im just afraid of people so much. so thank you again you literally changed my life

That's incredible 👏 so please this has helped you. Makes all my efforts worthwhile to hear your testimony!

As a beginner I am loving your teaching as you are so thorough and as a cat lover everything makes sense. My first cat after trying this example will be a persian. We adore our persians but recently added a savannah cat to our family. Gosh, after our laid back, lazy persians we couldn’t believe how naughty a savannah is. Thank you so much for making this exciting. I can’t wait to start!

It’s my understanding that the condensation can collect in the dip of the exhaust pipe (like a p-trap) which potentially could block it and create dangerous conditions for carbon monoxide poisoning. Exhaust pipe should aim down and out the building with no dips so condensation won’t collect.

I have a cat. I wanna start making domestic shorthairs like my girl. She’s a calico, so if I do calicos i wonder what the process of adding color to pieces are without making the face overly bulky and big.

@FittobeLovedFelts

Жыл бұрын

You can add tiny amounts of wool and cut short rather than lots of wool and thick. Build in thin layers. Keep your core piece nice and firm and if you are concerned about face getting too big, make the core shape smaller and slimmer to build on. Always easier to build up than try to reduce down later.

How many hours did you need for making this head? Thanks for sharing :)

@FittobeLovedFelts

Thank you. I don't time myself as I find it takes away the pleasure. Quite a few hours though 😆 For some who are faster felters it would take far less time than I spend so depends on your speed Nd how firm you want to get it. I'm a bit of a perfectionist too and like to take my time. Sorry this isn't really helpful.
