More adventures in felting cat fur

I continue to experiment with felting cat fur. I recently completed a small cat. The fur was mostly courtesy of our friend Connie.

He looks a little sad to me, and he's far from perfect, but I think he's a good first attempt. I added a collar.

I sent a photo to a co-worker and he surprised me by asking to commission a cat to represent his recently deceased cat, who died of cancer. While I don't feel I'm ready for commissions yet, I could not say no to a request like this. I'm working on this one now.

That's a pipe cleaner to mark the tail. Thankfully, the cat was mostly white with a gray tail and a couple small spots of orange. Wish me luck. I hope he will treasure the completed piece.
