Shading faces

[elize]

I normally use Copic pens to shade around my teddies nose and eyes. Can one use fabric paint?

[Izzy Bear]

Yes you can use fabric paint. The only problem is it leaves the fur stiff so you have to give it a good brush with a teasle brush or similar to make it fluffy again.

If you use textil colors and you only want to give a shading, you can take a wet old piece of coton fabric and just dip it into the color and wipe about you mohair......when you pass a dry coton over it the shading becomes very light

I'll try this next time. When I first experimented with fabric paint I nearly ruined the face as it came out very dark. Instead of wiping it with a piece of dry cotton I kept on applying the paint.:o

"Shannan's" face is shaded and wiped with white, black and brown color fabric

She looks just too gorgeous and that cute nose!

Love the cat. Is this mohair or faux fur? I have never been able to make a cat that looks real. Maybe I will try again as it has been a few years since I tried.

The nose is needle felted.
