I’d like to enter Penelope, the needle felted cat, into your current contest.
She’s about 9/5″ x 4″, including her base. She is felted over a wire armature
using Polworth first, and adding long hair/fur from a batt of blended wools including:
Merino, Silk, Tencel, Yearling Mohair, Super fine Alpaca, Bamboo, Angelina Shimmer
and Baby Angora. I was terrified to try the long hair; Penelope is my first.

You shouldn’t feel embarrassed at all. Your wool sculpture is very lovely and shows the unique one of a kind items that can be created with wool and a needle. It really is amazing! HAPPY FELTING!

OMG, Kim. I just saw your post. Thank you for the compliment, but your piece is every bit as good. It is so imaginative! It’s fun to see how different folks use the same medium.
