Full Description

Learn how to needle felt a stunningly realistic Border Collie dog head using wool, barbed needles, and simple hand tools. This digital demonstration is divided into three easy-to-follow videos that build your skills as you build the sculpture.

You will start by mapping the iconic black-and-white facial pattern onto a pre-shaped white base, then install glass eyes and a sculpted nose. From there you will layer black wool around the eyes, ears, and cheeks, blend white into the blaze and muzzle, and add feathered texture to the long coat. The final section covers ear placement, a pink tongue, subtle eye highlights, and finishing trims that bring the portrait to life.

The camera stays close to the artist’s hands throughout, so every poke, pinch, and trim is clearly visible. Audio is in Chinese, but the demonstration is fully visual and easy to follow regardless of language.
