I learned that it is very hard to control the 3D shapes you get out of felting. The "stabbing" process really just forever shrinks the piece in a very random fashion. The cat face could've been more defined and realistic if I put much more time into it.
It wasn't until I got to felting that I realized how strong of a bond can animal hair such as wool make with each other just by rubbing together their cuticles. I now see how felting could be a serious problem for sweaters.
If I were to do this again, I would probably purchase tools for wool mixing so that I can do it better and faster. Also, I might consider getting one of those combined felt needles so that felting also becomes faster.
