In this video there will be tips on how to build a wire armature in a sitting position. This armature is used for needle felted art dolls. However this armature can be adapted to be used with other art mediums other than needle felting. As long as materials used are suitable and appropriate for use with chosen art medium.

May I ask a question/some advise please...if your new to this process is making a small/med/large face recommended for just starting out??? BTW thanks so much for taking the time to make these videos and teach about this process, your videos are awesome for me as I'm just starting my journey with this medium

Thank you so very much and welcome to felting!! I do recommend making a larger face/head first. It is easier to create shapes and refine details when working larger. Then decrease. My heads and faces were much larger in the beginning. Hope this helps and thank you bunches again! ❤️

Thank you so much! What was the approximate length of the neck wire that you usually use for this size doll?

@@iceberg232323 you are so welcome! I generally allow about 2 inches for the neck. Sometimes a bit longer or shorter depending on what or who I am creating. I hope that helps!! Happy creating to you!! 😊😊😊

Excellent- I find the different ways you do armatures very unique and it’s all armature friendly since there are no mistakes- we’ll bug ones and you show how you can adjust lengths if needed - thank you so much ❤❤❤
