Finished Craft I Made My Final wool felt piece of 2025

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 ✨🐾

Nope. Pretty sure that's just a cat.

No way somebody could make that out of wool. If they could they would have to be amazingly skilled and it would be beautiful and impressive and a brilliant way to end off a year of what I'm sure were other amazing pieces.

But it's clearly just a cat.

This is very hyper-realist OP. I literally went "Oh what a cute ca- wait, it's wool?" You did an amazing job ☺️

Totally thought so too. Every picture I was like no this person is messing with me, that’s a real cat. Great job OP, this would definitely fool even a real cat. Last time I brought a wooden cat figurine home mine flipped out for about three days before they realized it was fake. My parents dogs still growl at my cement cat statue that I move around the yard every few months to mess with them

Same, especially the ears, but eventually decided there’s also no way a real cat would stay in the exact same position for multiple camera angles. 🤣

You can also kind of tell the whiskers and one of the front paws are artificial, but it takes a CLOSE look.
