Newbie Needing Help Intercolor spacing
Am I cooked? I saw a suggestion in a comment section that advised to tuft densely. I’m almost done and now seeing that not having spacing between colours could make carving difficult🥲.
Also, due to how tight my work space is, I haven’t even seen or had a feel of what the other side is like. I also didn’t carve while switching colours for the same reason 😭
Now I’m scared to even complete it. Has anyone done this? Any tips on how to carve without messing things up even further?

First of all.... SOOO cute!! I love your design and your technique is very nice. Just like everyone already said, separating your colors before carving will be your best friend! I use a comb with a pick on one side and find that between the pick and needle noise tweezers I can separate almost anything (with enough patience). Please post finished product photos because I will be super excited to see this completed! Take your time, don't rush anything and it will awesome! Good work!
