I'm coming late to the party -- just discovered this terrific resource! Thank you so much! (And thanks to Living Felt for supporting its creation.) When you are back, I would be thrilled to see videos on how you make birds' wings, and feathers in general, so lifelike. But I would be happy to learn ANYTHING you have to offer!
You are an awesome teacher and amazing artist, Kiyoshi! Thank you for sharing your talents with us and our felting friends! We look forward to learning from you in person this summer!!
I made this! She looks quite a bit different than yours, but I'm pretty happy because it was my second needle felting project. Thanks so much for this excellent video.
Amazing talent Kiyoshi! You are very kind to share your expertise with the rest of us. I hope someday you can do two more videos, tips on how to do feathers and tips on how to do nice and tightly constructed legs, I never see anyone addressing the legs, such as horse legs, and the best wool to construct them with... I know it is very important to study the anatomy of any creature you try to felt, but it would be soooooo nice to see an expert in action, real time, making them. You will definitely be remembered in the needle felting world, Bravo ~
Xander and I LOVED your tutorial. We cracked up over the censored marking and the "faceless clawed nightmare creature" comment. Can't wait to try making some sloths.
What a great tutorial, thank you Kiyoshi. So glad you are diving into the tutorial side of felting, with a sloth, one of my favourite creatures. Good luck.
Such a wonderful Tutorial Kiyoshi. I saw this animals in real in Bolivia and they are soooo lovely. Thank you so much for the great video. A hug from Switzerland.
Thank you so much! I saw them too, in Costa Rica! When I was in college I did a summer class on primates and there was a sloth who lived in a tree at the research station. I'm so glad you enjoyed the video!
I have to admit it is your work the has inspired me to get into needle Felting. Now you are doing tutorials that is absolutely fantastic. Looking forward to seeing more. Thanks!
Thank you very much for this wonderful video! Soon I'm working on this technique and it was very useful to me! I would greatly enjoy the video of a horse!
Thank you for providing this excellent tutorial. The quality of the video and the step-by-step instruction is the best I've seen! I look forward to seeing your next tutorial. Thank you for all you do for the felting community. And, a big "shout out" to Living Felt, too!
I'm just being honest! I think that you have set the "gold standard" in needle felting. The techniques that I am learning from you have helped me improve tremendously. I have never before been able to felt anything realistic - but now I believe I can achieve that. I can't thank you enough!
fabulous i am going to try this .i look forward to seeing more tutorials. i really love your creations especially the beautiful cats . thank you Kiyoshi
Great project from a great talent. You are teaching at the Sheep and Wool Festival in Wisconsin this September and I am going to take your three day class. I am so looking forward to this.
OMG! I loved this tutorial!! Finally I will be able to do one of your fabulous creations! Just as an idea: may be you could create a pattern to follow. Like an outline of the sloth so that I know I made it correctly. Anyway I loved your tutorial since I do not have enough money to pay for one of your class. I am infinitely grateful for this. Greetings from Chile ♡♡♡♡
Loved the video; kiyishi! Great job. I would love to learn how to make an otter! So put that on your list please. Look forward t to meeting you at living Felt in August. Robinb
FYI in settings you can slow the spped down. I was so happy when I learned this as it takes me a bit to follow stuff. On really slow speed I can stop it more accurately for each step.
I was so excited to see that you made a tutorial and I really love it! Thank you! This was really helpful. I'm pretty familiar with needle felting but I love to learn new methods and styles. Some things I'd love to learn more about are some advanced layering techniques for fur to get realistic looks, along with techniques for implementing markings like spots and stripes. Other ideas are ways to tackle particular bits like horns, hooves, claws, beaks, feathers, wings and so on. Maybe tutorials for different body types that might seem interesting or unusual? Really though whatever you think is fun to make and share I'm looking forward to see. :)
Thank you for this video. Could you please clarify for me how you twisted the wires for the legs on the armature. I understand that you put two leg wires at the two inch mark on the body so it looks like a "T." Do you twist both of the 2" sections of the leg wires together onto the spine to one and then the other? How do you get them to twist closely? Thanks for any help you can give me. :o)
@@kiyoshimino Thank you for getting back to me so quickly. Sorry that I am still confused. Do you twist the wire for one leg at a time or do you twist both at the same time? I realize that it is just the two inch section, not the whole wire. In other words, are you holding the two bottom two inches of both legs together as you twist?
Late to the party but my gratitude for this tutorial is endless. Thank you for all you do and for sharing your knowledge!

Thank you! I plan on making more videos and I'm sure some of them will involve long-haired creatures.

Thank you! I'm so glad you liked it! And thanks for the suggestions. I like the idea of focusing on individual parts or skills.
I got a question!!!! 🙋😊 is there a material I could use to carve, maybe not a sloth, maybe a bird, the body out?
I'm not an expert in other materials or carving but I would guess some kind of foam would work.
please - more!
Is that cardboard on top of your felting mat? to keep the wool from enmeshing and getting mixed on the foam?
Please -- birds!
Great tutorial! Can you please make tutorial how to make cat? 😬
Thank you for this video. Could you please clarify for me how you twisted the wires for the legs on the armature.

Do you twist both of the 2" sections of the leg wires together onto the spine to one and then the other? How do you get them to twist closely? Thanks for any help you can give me. :o)
I twist the wires like you would a twisty tie, so twisting the spine wire and the leg wire at simultaneously.
@@kiyoshimino Thank you for getting back to me so quickly. Sorry that I am still confused. Do you twist the wire for one leg at a time or do you twist both at the same time? I realize that it is just the two inch section, not the whole wire. In other words, are you holding the two bottom two inches of both legs together as you twist?
Kiyoshi how about some birds? You make such lovely ones.
I definitely want to do a bird video sometime in the near future!

That sloth is too freakin cute
Thank you 😄
What I'd like to see next is a dachshund, a teddy bear, and Carmen Electra.
👏👍
I would like you to make a pudu 🙊🙊🙊🙊🙊💕💕💕
Hi Poly! That would be really fun. Did I tell you I saw one in Huilo Huilo? It was just for an instant and it was gone back into the trees.
Yes, it's exciting, the pudus are very tiny and shy💕💕
I know! They're like the size of a small dog! I love your profile picture by the way :)
the best photo forever 💃🏻💃🏻

Киеси, добрый день, пожалуйста вернитесь в мир валяния, мне без Вас очень плохо творить. Жду Ваших мастер-классов.
