catty needle felting
I just finished my first needle felting project! It was a kit from my friend DB. Thanks, babe! It was fun!
The kit was for a gray cat, but I decided to adapt it to look like my own kitty Nemorino (Nemo).
Nemo likes him. I think he'd probably play with him and tear him apart if I'd let him. I actually used some of Nemo's fur in it, just for fun, so he probably smells it.
It all started when I told DB about making felted balls of the cats' fur after brushing them and cleaning out the brush over long periods of time. Crazy, I know. But I've since found multiple bloggers who do the same, some even dying them with kool-aid (especially for white cats) and making jewelry with them.
Nemo will attack and play with them any time he can get his paws on them, so I have to store them out of reach. (He'll also reach his paw into the waste basket to pull out blobs of fur from the brush if I leave them uncovered, and then eat them and barf them up later. Thanks, Nemo.) He likes woolly things anyway, so a woolly thing that smells like himself and is kind of bouncy and rolls on the floor? Awesome!
Little Nemo and his brethren.
He regards them with a smug complacent look upon his horsey doggish face. (Sculpture was never my forte.)
Gianni meets his tiny brother
The Nemos share an uneasy peace
...which is soon broken.
Clearly I will have to store Little Nemo up high and out of reach, along with the fur balls.

Anyway, you are so very talented. Not only that you make wonderful miniatures, now you are the master felter of the world.
