First time Felting = Totoros and Mario Mushrooms

This is an updated about my recent felt creations. 
I tried first at making the Totoro then Mario Mushrooms

 I managed to get two needle stick injuries during this process... (at least it wasn't at work hehe)
This may be mostly due my frugal nature in trying to conserve the felting wool and also to make smaller cuter figures.

However I have realized that making small ones are actually more difficult to make and may take just as much time if not more. This is because I cannot use a bundle of needles, instead I had to use a single needle and literally jab it into the wool a million times for it to contract and compact itself into such shapes.

 Mind you despite all that this felting animals was an amazingly fun project. 
However given my allergy to wool I have to leave this craft alone for a while.
