My newest commission in needle felted wool..."Callie Cat."
Photograph of "Callie Cat"
Photographs are nice but, inevitably there is always something left out! (details I can't see). For example what are the color of eyes without the flash, what color is on the back, tail and paws??? I was fortunate enough to have my client have on hand some photos to share with more examples but, still you just can't see it all....so I use my creative license to recreate the unknown:)
Placing in basic shapes of color patches and facial details 
Here I am checking the color to the photograph
The more finalized detail of the eyes are now in place
I start needle felting from the feet up
Here am getting the length of the wool correct and small pieces at a time get needled into the body
Here I have built up the layers for a couple days and finally feel it is filled in correct and looks anatomically correct or at least as close as I could make it.....and added Callie's collar.
My studio pal "Pierre" has a new buddy, "Callie" to hang with until she goes in the mail.
This is me saying; "Nice to meet you but, it is time to send you off to your new and Happy home" :)
