I finally decided what to do with this black curly mohair I've had for a long time. I'm in Halloween mode, and made this scowly puss...he's got the mohair body, and a needle felted wool face. I used some over-dyed wool in his ears, and some really pretty green glass taxidermy cat eyes. Linen string for whiskers.
I find it so hard to take pics of a black critter! He is so much prettier in person!
