Would you like to know how to create needle felted cat eyes? This is the second in the series of my Needle Felted Eyes Tutorials.
It has everything you'll need for planning and creating wool eyes that are detailed and realistic. I'll first teach you the theory - eye size and position, eye anatomy, eye colours, eye shape and pupil dilation, before then demonstrating how to needle felt eyes on a Tabby Birman Cat.
Beware of cute kitty footage along the way :-)
This video was kindly sponsored by Heidifeathers. I absolutely love this company! They are a friendly dedicated felting shop with all the wool and tools you’ll need for your needle felted animals. I use some of their amazing needles in my video. By the way they now have horse hair which is brilliant for cat whiskers! So do check out their website today at www.heidifeathers.com
Here is part 1 of this series on dog eyes - • How to make Realistic ...
If you'd like to see how I made the cat head here is the needle felted cat head playlist: • Needle Felted Cats
