USA only. For tax reasons, all others need to visit my International shop on Etsy: https://worthylion.etsy.com

With only three Stacks, this portrait can come together quickly. 
While this is technically a Boxer portrait, with just a little tweaking it can be used for dogs with a similar head shape:

• Bulldog
• French Bulldog
• Cavalier King Charles Spaniel
• Shih Tzu
• Boston Terrier
• Mastiff
• Pug

The Project Sheet Includes:

• A default pattern laid out for economical printing
• A second pattern that can be scaled up to 225% 
• Template for ears
• Detailed measurements
• Ten 3D reference images 
• Four full-color photos (creative commons licensed)
• Tips and sculpting advice

Beginning Felters
You will want to complete the included Penguin tutorial first to learn the SWiFT way of felting.
Realistic portraits are a sculpting challenge of details. You can’t miss many of them and still get the realism you want. 
I suggest you start with a realistically cute version first. If you simply focus on creating an accurate profile, you’ll be well on your way to creating a nice Boxer.  

Experienced SWiFTers
The stacking, blending and sculpting is pretty straightforward, but I suggest you at least look through this Project Sheet and review the pictures and any bold or red text. 

What's included:

• SWiFT Profile Patterns in the default (fits-in-your-hand) size
• A second pattern option that is designed for enlarging up to US letter size
  
• Reference images of all sides
• Tips and tricks to ensure sculpting success

What about coloring?
As with all SWiFT templates (except the Penguin), you're on your own for coloring. At least the blocky coloring of most Boxers, makes it easier.

Learning SWiFT
SWiFT isn't difficult, it's just different. To make it easier to create this project, your purchase includes two free downloads. The first is the SWiFT Handbook. It contains the complete SWiFT process and instruction on creating thin legs using SWiFrame.

The second is the Penguin Tutorial Project Sheet. This project is highly recommended for anyone new to needle felting. It is a complete step-by-step tutorial that includes a real-time YouTube video. You will learn the basics of SWiFT while creating a realistic penguin.
