That was Brilliant.I want to try and make a cat for my friend ,for Christmas present.......thank you for braking it down making simple. xxxxxx
You are so welcome! I would love to hear how you get on with your cat. It sounds like a lovely gift
This is EXACTLY what I was looking for!!! Thank you SOOOO much!! Definitely giving you a follow!!
This is the best skeletal demo I have seen for beginners. Thanks..
oh thank you, such a kind thing to say
I like how you simplified the form into basic elements. I'm ready to have a go. I have done horses, but never a cat!
Thank you. My brain works better making things as simple as possible :D I think if you have done horses cats shouldnt be too tough as horses are a challenge too
hej Pam.. to be honest, not a cat person but I will try this after watching you do this! I love your real time tutorial too... Thank you Pam..
Thank you. I wonder if cats are harder for me because Im not a cat person either, with the dogs it was easy to ask my dogs to pose in certain ways.
Good luck with the cat - I have warned you :D :D
Hello.Yo probé hacer con alambre pero me dificultó cuando pinchaba con la aguja
Aww, it is your talent
Thank you
Hi Pam, can you tell me what needle you are using? Love the cat video x
Thank you. I am not 100% sure there, usually I use a 38 or a 40 gauge needle and usually a twist needle
I honestly find it easier to make cat heads than dogs heads-
Cat body harder though..
Hi do you have a small cat head tutorial to go with the the small cat tutorial please
I do have several, this one might best - obviously make the back of the head round not flat but the features are easyish (cats are hard) ua-cam.com/video/ol7jSY-4MEM/v-deo.html
I'll be attempting to make a black cat and a ginger tabby for my mom thanks for the tutorial
I usually work at a bigger scale than this but I will have to try this method some time because gosh it's so tiny and cute!
I always find cat legs the most tricky part. And sometimes the belly too, since cats tend to have flabby looking bellies compared to dogs lol!
Joie Lehman yes legs I have struggled to get even. Its funny anything I've tried art wise I've always worked to a small scale.
Thank you so much for sharing your tutorial on making a cat, you make it look so easy, but it's not. I have commented on your felting before and said to you I am new to felting, but I do like it and have made two little dogs and a Betty boop face, but I keep st abingdon myself still, so I could never do it like you do it, but I have bought a pair of leather gardening gloves, so I'm hoping to try and do a cat with those on, so thanks again x x
Leather gloves sound like a good idea :) let me know how you get on with them. I am the most clumsy person in the world and I do stab myself way way less than I used to :)
I had never heard of 'Needle Felting' before :)
Cutting the Caboose you came to the right channel Pam is brilliant from start to finish that’s how it all get me started ! Hope you do try this and join the journey with Pam
I like to be different :) Its not all that well known yet but gaining public notice and more and more people are starting it, which is a pain cos they are all better than me :D
So i guess your new channel isnt needle felting? :D
It’s very addictive 💖 you’ll love it. Pam has an awesome dragon tutorial I did as my second project😁
Aww thank you so much - you are making me blush there :)
Lily, I didnt realise you did the dragon as your 2nd project, wow you overacheiver - it took me years to make my first dragon :)
Thanks for the helpful video. Do you have one about making the head and attaching it to this armature? Why don't you use wire for the head? Thanks
Hey there, I do have a couple of videos showing how I put one of my heads on the body (its a dog but the principle is the same) I do wire the head for my bigger items but honestly for the small ones it just makes it too fiddly, for me I prefer to make them seperate ua-cam.com/video/e-sxaKPT65o/v-deo.html
I just started so watching ur experienced bare fingers made me giggle and cringe especially having poked my fingers already. I thank you so much for ur informative videos thank you thank you.
If done this for my japanese dragon found it doesn't keep him standing or keep it structure
If your sculpture is having trouble holding its shape try using a firmer wire
When adding color to the final figure how do you keep the wool from tearing when posing the legs? Every time I make a new purse everything gets too loose and I have to go over again. Its not a big deal for me since I can do it no problem but if I sold a doll and it fell apart it wouldn't look good for me
Ive not had that problem - what I do tho is when adding the colour kind of felting it on all sides with the leg stretched out at its fullest extent and making sure its really firmly felted. Also I dont pose them much, once they are in position they tend to be there. I hope that makes sense? For a purse I would possibly wet felt it some to make sure its really firm
Great video as always :^) Though I do have one question; is the carded wool you’re using more similar to a roving or a batt? I’m pretty new to needle felting, so I don’t know all of the terminology yet. Thank you!
That is actually a great question as carded is usually in a batt but for some reason this one product is similar to a roving while the fibers are not all aligned like a roving would be its in long strips that are easier to wrap. I have not seen another product like it
That doesn’t look too hard
