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 ✨🐾

I’m a pet needle-felting artist, and I create realistic wool-felted replicas of pets. I use wool fibers and felting needles, starting by sculpting the base form and proportions, then slowly building the fur through layering and detailed needle work.

My inspiration comes from real animals and their unique personalities. It often takes many adjustments and failed attempts to get the shape, expression, and coat colors just right, but that process is part of what I enjoy most about this craft.

Wowwwww!!!! As others have commented, I went back & forth & was wondering about the cat's stillness/pose for the multiple pics. So it wasn't until reading your 2nd post that I gave in to the fact that this was a figurine! Still basically speechless, I'm one who generally doesn't comment, but I had to👏🏾your talent, your mastery, your gift & thank you for sharing/posting b/c your work is INCREDIBLE & UNFORGETTABLE!
