Halloween

Here's my Halloween themed tag. I've needle felted a black cat using fur from my own black cat, Nelson! As he's quite elderly his fur is more grey than black now, but I'm pleased with this. The background is a tag from a pair of leggings, and a piece of a woollen blanket dyed green, which I bought at a craft fair. I tried some beads for eyes but they just didn't work.
Nelson is 14 and full of character. I was really surprised to find out that it's very hard to re-home black cats. I would definitely have another black cat, as every one I've ever met has been full of character! I've included some photos of Nelson with my tag.
