So I work at an arts and crafts store, and we sell these pre-felted items like bowls, phone-carriers, and tablet-carriers. I decided to try felting on them to see how it works.

Two experiments were to be "relief"-style (where they're only semi-3D), the other two would be "applique"-style (where they're just a 2D image on something flat.)

For one of my grandmothers I needlefelt a gray cat onto a bowl, since she owns two gray cats.
