I think you would have to crochet with wool yarn so that the wool would 'stick' to it when you try to felt it, although you could always experiment. Acrylic doesn't felt, so it may not work if you don't use wool yarn as the base form! But I have heard that fiberfill (regular polyester stuffing) DOES felt, so you could save some of your precious wool by felting over a fiberfill core. Your wire idea would definitely work really well - if you build a wire armature you could easily felt around the wire 'bones'. That’s a good idea!

Question, could you have crocheted a simple form, then needlefelted over that? What about a wire frame that could give it poseability? Very cute btw!

I have also tried needlefelting before, but I think I have to try again, someday! After seeing your creation, that is your first, I really wants to try one more time. ^^ Oh, it looks great!

Good job! And I totally agree about the jumping straight in instead of testing things. Of course, that sometimes leads to 'disaster', but sometimes the result can be really quite awesome. :-) Oh, it’s absolutely adorable. Good job!
