Process

I followed the steps of the manual and realized that the manual is way to simple and 2D, but the cat that I'm making requires much more detail and 3D depth. After making the simple circular cat face according to the manual, I explored with making small blobs of felt and throwing it onto the face and combining them.

I knew the kit wouldn't have all the colors for Brooklyn so I bought more brown colored wool to mix in. Many parts (the entire grey-ish region) required mixing different colored wool by pulling apart everything, which was tiring for bare hands, but it was doable.

The eyes were surprisingly hard to install. I stabbed through the head with a penknife to make room to push in the eyes. I put in some superglue so it would stay.

I enjoyed giving the side details to my project, and I even made my mom take side profiles for Brooklynn.
