This is is my first attempt at combining embroidery with felt (and my first real attempt at embroidery at all). I reached for my "default doodle" - a snail whose slime trail is the night sky, or (in my head), "The Cosmic Snail." I've been doodling this guy in notebook margins for the past four or five years, so I figured it was high time for him to show up in 3D, and what better time than when learning a new skill?
