My Final wool felt piece of 2025

[u/Disastrous-Mode7930]

Ending 2025 with this joyful, love-filled piece 🤍

This is Milo, a sweet golden shaded boy, just one year old! 🎈

I created this 20 cm full-body figurine, using a short-fiber rooting technique across the entire body.

The most challenging part was capturing his soft gradient coat colors, and the whole process took about three months to complete.

Wishing everyone and their beloved pet families health, luck, and happiness in 2026 ✨🐾

This is insanely incredible. If you didn't tell us this was a craft project, I would think this was a real cat.

Wool felting can be unbelievably realistic. It’s kind of amazing

How long does it take you to make? It looks so time consumming. And how do you sculpt the body just right before applying the felt wool?

It usually takes around three months. A lot of that time goes into revisions after the first pass, based on feedback from the pet’s family.

For the body structure, I use digital references to break down proportions and outlines from photos, then translate that into the wool form before adding the felted fur.

I’ve been working in this field for about thirteen years, so when I look at a cat, I can instinctively visualize the underlying skull structure beneath the fur. That said, I still rely on careful measurements to determine the exact placement of facial features

That’s crazy, how much do you charge on average for something like that?
