The body of this Boxer felts quickly as it only has two stacks.
The thin legs work well with SWiFrame, so getting good detail is easier.
While this is technically a Boxer dog, with just a little tweaking it can be used for dogs with a similar body shape.
The Project Sheet Includes:
- A default pattern laid out for economical printing
- A second pattern that can be scaled up to 200%
- SWiFrame wire bending patterns for legs and tail
- Detailed measurements
- Eighteen 3D reference images
- Tips and sculpting advice
Beginning Felters
You'll want to complete the Penguin project first. It is included with this purchase.
This is a good project to start on if you're new to creating a full-body sculpture. Felting an accurate profile is all you really need to claim a Boxer sculpture.
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 about coloring?
The SWiFrame legs and tail are thin, need to be sculpted directly in color top-coat wool. For the body you can use core or color wool. As with all SWiFT templates (except for the Penguin), you're on your own for coloring.

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.
