In wet felting only pre-felts with accept new fibre additions along the way. Once felt reaches the fulled stage only needlefelting will work for additions. So far minus the water you have been using the wet felting technique -- agitation. The needle replaces that technique and enables enough precision to do sculpture. I'm envisioning a tiny reproduction of Sammy made entirely of Sammy............ilana (Helen) Pengellyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16416440003661972174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27597790.post-50750977503025174942008-09-01T01:47:00.000-07:002008-09-01T01:47:00.000-07:00Thanks Helen!<BR/><BR/>I have no idea how to needlefelt but I sense I may have to give it a go! <BR/><BR/>I've been binning his hair recently but perhaps I will start saving it in a bag as we get a ball that size out of him pretty much every week and it's so soft, it seems a shame to waste it.<BR/><BR/>My next question would be, having gotten that little mat you see there, I've tried adding to it but it won't mesh with any new cat hair. Will needling it help to merge new hair into that mat or is it too late in the process?Sparxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04075991922896922279noreply@blogger.com
