Welcome to the Face 2 Felt Originals fan page where all things Face 2 Felt related will be given to you in a constant barrage of awesomeness!!! The idea of making portraits out of felt came to me junior year of high school while looking for a unique and one of a kind graduation gift for a friend. I evened coined a name for them, "Feltraits". Face 2 Felt Originals has been featured in the 2009 Ma

FAQ:
How my pieces are made:
The face is built up with several layers of felt then shaded. The "feltrait" is glued to a painted canvas and framed. I build the frame into a shadow box using foam core lined by black felt. There is no glass covering because I feel it takes away from the piece and makes it less interactive. My pieces take approximately anywhere from 2-8 weeks to complete depending on my workload. Usually it is on the shorter side BUT if it is needed by a certain date or for a special occasion, I will do my VERY best to have it to you days before. This piece comes ready to hang. Please make sure to hang it in a clean and dry area. Feel free to touch, (you will want to) but with clean, dry hands only to preserve aesthetics. I guarantee you will LOVE your ORIGINAL ONE-OF-A-KIND piece!!!
