Here is a translation: Thank you for accepting my membership application. First, let me introduce myself. I'm a felt maker from China who runs a needle felting studio. My main focus is custom pet related creations and I am also building a wet felt handbag factory. I have been in the needle felting industry for 7 years and have more than ten colleagues in my studio. I've always wanted to connect with a group of like-minded people who share the same passion for all things felt related. I was searching endlessly until I found this forum. I'll be sharing some of my felt-related experiences here, including thoughts on raw materials, crafting tools, techniques, and how to sell your creations. Of course, these are just my practices in China, and I hope they can be helpful to everyone. Below are some of our creations. This is one of the links.

Your needle felting is wonderful - love the way the pug looks as if he's climbing out of the frame!

I just love your Pug. Can I ask how you created his eyes, nose and claws? They look so real, as do his whiskers.

Thank you for your interest. The eyes are created by printing the desired baseplate on camera paper. Dog eyes are usually black or brown. Then, use a crystal drop mold to create two hemispherical crystals and glue them onto the baseplate. The nose and paws are shaped using soft clay, then baked in an oven at 180 degrees Celsius for 10 minutes. As for the whiskers, they're even simpler. Just use bristles from a broom, making sure the broom is new.

"crystal drop mould" sounds interesting, but I don't think that I'll be diving down that rabbit hole - at least for a while. The results you've achieved are really good.
