Finally got to watch. This is going to be awesome

[@susancunningham8805]

Had to miss Wednesday, but looking forward to watching this episode.

[@careyjones7497]

My transfer pens have just arrived, whoop, whoop xxxx Thank you for the inspiration ❤

[@carolaschindler439]

This a unique wooly Wednesday. Someday I will have to look at my pictures of me to do a selfie. ☺️

[@susancunningham8805]

Just the tiniest bit of change in the tones adds so much dimension. Super busy until the end of the month, but then I'm definitely giving this a go.

[@jeanettebaxter8472]

I love the way you begin the face. I never would have thought to do it that way. So clever!

[@maryjoepperson]

I was so sorry to miss but I just got my delivery of my Living felt supplies so now I'm all ready to play!

[@kimberlypulli8356]

Thank you Marie, you gave me a light bulb moment. Still learning

[@careyjones7497]

Amazing how just a line brings your face to life x

[@bonnieroberts7098]

Happy Wooley Wednesday. Just now able to watch.

[@jennifercarruth9455]

Finally catching some weeks that I had to miss. Always amazes Me how quickly you can make things look like a face!

[@jdenoyer]

Thanks for helping us feel empowered to try portraits!

[@fernmellein3037]

This was so fun. I missed the live but I loved watching the replay

[@tammypopp314]

I am starting my portrait today, cant wait to try out the technique with the face where as you traced the head outline and felted that then iron it then use the iron on transfer pen for the facial features. I had a hard time with this part and I will try it this way, can't wait! Thanks for another great video!!!

[@k-leedaniel8583]

I have been waiting all day to watch this! So excited!

[@joankillelea639]

Thanks for all your felting fun on this too hot afternoon! I think I learned enough to at least approach a face. Good practice while waiting for Kimberlys class.

[@RianShafer]

I already have these LF colors, enough left from other projects thanks to the generous quantities, no excuse not to try this! I definitely need to get the iron on transfer pens. In our FB Group I see so many fantastic 2Ds & pictures, I'm so ready to try it!

[@terriemclaughlin1265]

Shoot…. Missed the live show but watching the replay right now. 😎

[@judyguccione1694]

So excited to watch !! Doing faces is so intriguing. Ordered the landscape kit and I’m excited to get started on it

[@dawnrutledge1115]

Just getting to watch now. So excited I won, thank you! I love how you are breaking this down and the life you bring into it.

[@maryanneanthony4457]

Perfect timing for this tutorial! I can’t wait for Kimberley’s class! I will be making “selfies” to prepare! Thanks so much for the inspiration!

[@skyeblue6834]

Totally love this way of doing portraits it makes it easier therefore fun and Hi from Uk

[@sandyrandolph4351]

Great tutorial, many thanks Marie!!

[@monicadrewry4892]

Thank you for this episode! It is so helpful for the current project that I am working on. I especially loved the tip of doing the base first and then the markings. I really needed the lip color demonstration also - I wouldn’t have imagined those colors for the lips and was struggling on the color in my project.

[@tracykirkman9912]

So cool. Thanks for breaking down the face transfer.

[@lilykrzyzanowski7312]

Wow I am glued to this

[@suecinshei6720]

Hi, this is such a good idea, and it really looks like you Marie! Sue from Australia

[@pamelahauman8590]

Watching the replay! I never would have thought of laying a base down and then transferring on top of it!!

[@lisagiarratana7660]

Amazing work! I am always amazed watching what you create. I like how you explain how and why you outlined certain parts (ie: inside of lips/teeth area). I was only able to see part of the live and just finished the replay. Even my husband was wowed!😊

[@colleenleighty5715]

I’m at the ocean and all I can see is beach scenes I should be needle felting. May have to give it a go!

[@julianahopman485]

I think you make this look so doable

[@rosebri1792]

These are great

[@arethabruce9184]

Hi, what a fun idea, thank you so much for doing this show!

[@fernmellein3037]

I learned a ton and I have to get transfer pens

[@memorybradleyart]

Darn! Missed the live show, but I am waiting at the edge of my seat for Kimberly Pulli’s class to be released. In my world, she is the portrait master, and I can’t wait to learn from her. Thank you, Living Felt, for always bringing such great content to us!

[@LivingFelt]

See the Coming Soon page 😀

[@tammydaniels7159]

[@jackieburns8374]

Cool faces!

[@lisalindsey3242]

Enjoying the replay from IN, thanks!

[@stephaniewilliams3106]

Missed the live, but sitting with my living felt mug of coffee and watching! Thanks for all you do! Doing a self portrait is really hard. Your tips are great to help especially from the planning and just looking for the light and dark areas. Great transfer tips!

[@softwarereview7713]

..and thank You so much for all your positive videos!^)

[@kathleen8721]

I'm so excited to try this, thanks for another great tutorial! Ya'll are the best!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@terriberth2715]

I LOVE YOUR HAIR DOWN! So excited to learn how you do faces in 2D because I'm starting some Christmas scenes and this will be so helpful. Loved seeing Kayla. Thanks for being such a great teacher and role-model. Hugs to you and all the amazing fairies.

[@kathiehand]

Got my pics printed! Ready to give it a try!

[@darleneduruttya8612]

Wonderful tips for the facial shadings and skin tone selection as well the picture transfer. Marie you do a wonderful job of explaining and showing us how it's done. Thanks.

[@julianahopman485]

Can’t believe I won a goodie bag from last week. So excited

[@sueparsons2610]

So happy to be watching you (from TN)I was busy making a sheriff doll so couldn’t watch live

[@janscott9373]

Marie, have you tried using Crown needles? they have a single barb on each side of the needle close to the tip. this means the depth required to engage the fibers is very shallow. it is not as aggressive at moving fiber as a T40-333 or T40-222 needle but may reduce the want of some felters to drive the needle deeply into the felting surface. i have seen them most often offered in T40-111 and T42-111 but just spotted a T46-111 which would be for very fine fibers. i have been enjoying your videos Thank you for sharing!

[@LivingFelt]

We will ask her :)

[@audreyfarthing4332]

Excellent show. Lots of favourite tips. Could you outline the used for each of your two new fibres. Thank you.

[@marlaokrant5263]

Can’t wait to watch this replay! Why does company always stop in on wooly Wednesday?! They’ve left and now I get to watch!

[@carolaschindler439]

Your work is amazing and hope some day to be able to do a portrait

[@emiliesteed1695]

so bummed I missed the live show!

[@susancunningham8805]

You mentioned kits for the new upcoming classes. After signing up for a class, are the kits purchased on the felting tutorial site or on the living felt site? I would love to use the anniversary gift certificate I have for a class kit, but don't know if that is possible.

[@LivingFelt]

Hi Susan, the supplies and kits are still purchased from www.livingfelt.com, but supply lists and the link to kits (when available) are available after registering.

[@colleenleighty5715]

Wouldn’t paper dolls style be fun? You could make little magnet clothes for them haha 😂

[@splaceanimation]

I’m definitely MC1 suntan

[@sueparsons2610]

Have you thought about making the felt pads thicker? I am always poking through the pad

[@LivingFelt]

They get a lot more pricey...if you stack 2, that would give you a thicker base...and would be similar in cost. Vary your angle and keep with finer needles on 2D work.

[@colleenleighty5715]

Can we buy more than one mc1 now? Or still one of each color. Thanks! I need a palm washboard too so getting my order ready soon.

[@LivingFelt]

Still on a limit, but it will change :)

[@mmedeuxchevaux]

I have a question - how do you make really thin lines? That's what I have great difficulty with. In terms of darker skin tones, I'm wondering if chalk would work - putting chalk on the back of the piece of paper and then tracing over the front with pen.

[@mmedeuxchevaux]

Does it matter what kind of paper you use with the iron on transfer pen?

[@softwarereview7713]

You look like Angelina Jolie! :)Have a great day !:)

[@maryanneanthony4457]

Perfect timing for this tutorial! I am going to make “selfies” to prepare for Kimberly’s class! Thanks so much for the inspiration!

[@tammydaniels7159]

i missed most of show who won from last weeks comments that are usually done at the beginning of the show ?

[@devonmccarroll6509]

Dawn and Julianna

[@LivingFelt]

Yes! We did that at the beginning 😍

[@julianahopman485]

I so need a primer on doing selfies, I’m horrible at it. I always end up looking like a shrew

[@careyjones7497]

Me too ❤ can't think of anything worse than a picture of me 😆

[@carolaschindler439]

I always lose my comments. I hope to look through my pictures and find a selfie selfie I’ll have to look through my pictures and find one that I like to do a selfie. If you’re interested if I could do a comparison of one with me with my red hair and my pure white here now. Lol

[@sueparsons2610]

Do you find you use 2-3 sizes of the needles for all your projects or do you tend to use all sizes?

[@LivingFelt]

For 2D. I mostly use the 42T. And sometimes 40T. For 3D, I definitely use more sizes from coarse to fine. I am loving the 38 Star Spiral.
