Can anyone direct me to a tutorial on needlefelting a face onto a completed head?

Bought some "bits" at Hugglets" and want to have a go.

Just looked at you tutorial - very interesting.  Thankyou.

Just being nosey (excuse the pun!) but how long does it take you to work the the face?

desertmountainbear Mar 3, 2011

To needle felt the eye lids, nose and cheeks, probably about 4 hours.  I like to felt until it is really hard.  I have been felting most of the bears faces for years now, so for the first time you do this plan for 8 hours.

Joanne, it took me 8 hours just to felt around the eyes on a cat that I did last year!  It would take me 2 days to do a whole face!!!
You are amazing!!
Hugs,

Thanks ladies.  It is something that gets faster the more you do it.  And also costs less money the more you do it.  I only go through 2 or 3 needles a face now, used to be lots more.
