I was so excited when the notice for this video popped up while on my computer (not my phone for a change) so I could come directly to part 2! I mainly use glass eyes mostly but making the eyeballs with material is a good idea! have to say pre-painting them would be better for me. I have skin material for my gnome doll's noses I could try with. Keeping a doll needle in my pad with me felting needles is a must! So handy. I'm good with long videos! This was not too long at all. Thanks so much for doing these tutorials!
That’s great! Yes I’m dreading painting the irises now lol. Definitely a change for the next one Haha. See we are all still learning. Every time it gets better. ❤️
Thank you so much. I’ll be doing some shoes next go round in the paper clay. I’m not very skilled in the polymer. I’d love to see your dolls! The cosclay seems so cool too with flexibility.
That’s great! We are wrapping up a studio remodel and I will have new videos very soon. Thanks for watching. I’ve been busy researching some new techniques to share also.
Hi, thanks for responding. I meant to fill jersey with fiberfill instead of bits of jersey. I'm soooooooo far from making a face...truthfully I haven't done one single thing lol! 😂
I got some interesting yarn for the tiny hairs on my jumping spider and was thinking that it MIGHT work for some eyelashes. Red Heart Scrubby Sparkle Licorice color.
Hi i have been using you face part one and part two and they have helped me a lot do you have a technique for putting eyelashes on the eyes. As a beginner your videos are great so please keep up the great videos Maxine from UK
The one doll has a needle felted body, one is crocheted, and one is sewn panels. They all are popsicle heads on sticks if that makes sense and then just start wrapping the wire to create a needle felted body like a giant caterpillar. If you are using a fabric body, just stuff the half torso inside the fabric body and stuff with filling. Then sew around the neckline. Hope that all makes sense and you can watch the link above. 👌
You could give it a try and let me know. I do like the fabric eye for movement as far as later adjustments go and I’ll demonstrate in the next video. Lots of eye options so definitely go with your favorite. 👍
I agree porcelain eyes are beautiful but it’s hard to needle felt around glass, ceramic, and beads because the needle breaks and scratches the eyes. The fabric allows for the needle to go through. Lots of options for personal wishes though. Thank you for the suggestion.
You can needle felt the eyes using the fiberfill but I’m not sure you can paint the fiberfill. Maybe experimenting with fabric medium otherwise the paint will just soak into the fiber fill. Let me know how it goes.
I get my needles from living felt and sarafina fiber art. The links are in the description box to the start of the video. The coarse and medium needles are 32/34 for coarse and 36/38 for medium.
Thanks for the video = I am thinking if you want to get credit for making the eyes, call it the Leightfoof Technique while you're doing it next time...
@Leightfootfelts on the eyes... When you said "I tried painting but it soaks through" I though you were referring to the eyes.. Lol, I have a 6y/o and 1½, I only get to see/hear like ⅛ of things I'm trying to watch. Lol But yeah, as for if I want to paint larger areas, I use mod podge 1st... But small spots, I've used the clear nail polish. Altho it soaks in a little, it kinda fills in the pores a little so the paint don't soak through.. Hope that helps, if you remember, let me know how it works out if you try it

You're the best! I made some polymer clay dolls, but want some more flexible and poseable. These are adorable!
Thank you so much. I’ll be doing some shoes next go round in the paper clay. I’m not very skilled in the polymer. I’d love to see your dolls! The cosclay seems so cool too with flexibility.

Ooh that’d make for some fun eyelashes! Good idea.
Do you have a video on how you made the head and how you connected the head? Thank you! Love your videos 🥰
Yes check my second video I made. It’s basically a ball on a stick. Thank you!

Great thank you! There is a video called eyebrows and eyelashes. 👍
Do you have a video where you show how you connect the heads to the bodies?

how large is this felted face I love it!
The finished doll should be about 10 inches from head to feet. The head fits in my hand. 👍
What about trying a coat of fabric glue over wool eye let dry then paint?
You could give it a try and let me know. I do like the fabric eye for movement as far as later adjustments go and I’ll demonstrate in the next video. Lots of eye options so definitely go with your favorite. 👍
Глазки лучше всего делать из фарфора и получается очень красиво как настоящие❤😅
I agree porcelain eyes are beautiful but it’s hard to needle felt around glass, ceramic, and beads because the needle breaks and scratches the eyes. The fabric allows for the needle to go through. Lots of options for personal wishes though. Thank you for the suggestion.
Ok to use fiberfill for eyes i
Instead of jersey fabric?
You can needle felt the eyes using the fiberfill but I’m not sure you can paint the fiberfill. Maybe experimenting with fabric medium otherwise the paint will just soak into the fiber fill. Let me know how it goes.
suggest where to get the coarse needle and the size 42 fine needle.

That’s a good idea 👍
Try painting it with clear nail polish 1st.. it'll help keep paint from soaking in
On the wool? I’ll have to experiment with that thanks.
@Leightfootfelts on the eyes...
When you said "I tried painting but it soaks through" I though you were referring to the eyes..

Thank you!! Yes kids and pets are very distracting.
