Needlefelt Huskies
Tiny Huskies! On the left, the white husky is Roxy. On the right, the black and white husky, is Roland.
Made out of entirely fluff needlefelted together into a husky shape with a special barbed needle.
More gifts I gave to Sphinx & Char when I visited, these are their pet huskies. :3

You use a barbed needle (available at some well-stocked craft stores specifically for this purpose) and loose fibers. Then you stab it with the special needle. The poking action tangles the fibers together with every poke and as you do it more it compacts it together and you can work it sculpturally, you can also attach it to other fabrics (like felt) since what you are making IS felt. There is a lot of video tutorials on YouTube, which I browsed for research before I dove into the craft.
The lady at the store I purchased from told me you can use anything from animal hair (wool, llama, alpaca, pet hair etc) to even stuff like dryer lint! You can buy "carded" or "roved" wool (seems pricey), however I used shredded yarn (labor intensive), which was much more attractive material compared to her dog hair and dryer lint examples, because it was usable scrap from my yarn tail project. ;3
