Needle Felted Seal

On our last pottery session, the potter who first told me about the craft of needle felting brought her little felted creature to show me.

It's a harbour seal.

The kit was made by a Canadian crafter in Western Canada.

I immediately went out in search of a needle felting kit to do as well... and bought a kit to make this felted bird. (I later bought this little bird house to go with it!) The kit I bought was made in Scotland.

I haven't finished it - I haven't glued them in yet. I'm  wondering what to do. 

The little bird isn't as solid as I'd like it to be... My daughter suggested that I pull it apart  and start over. That's pretty drastic!

Sometimes, when I don't like a craft project I'm  working on, I put it away and work on something else for a while - to get a fresh perspective on it when I return to it.

Now that my pottery session is over, I'll hopefully have more time to figure out how to proceed.
