>If you're working with cotton or something that will take color I think they'd look neat with a color gradient. Like, just dipping the ends into dye and letting it soak up.
Holy crap I did not think to do that, and I have some cotton skeins too. I want to try this soon, what do you recommend for dye? Thankfully I work nearby fiber arts shop so they also have natural dyes and things too, unless food coloring is an option just to play with.

I think I'll make jellyfish ornaments for winter season, among other things, and I'll be sure to make them eye-less. It'd be nice to add the 4-spot details on top, like one of those moon jellyfishes. Goodness, thanks for the suggestion.

>do you think if the design is unique or cute enough would you buy it?
Personally, yes. I like the example you have there, while really small, would make a neat desk ornament. I'm not sure about having it be part of an accessory since it's needle felted, I wouldn't want my things to start getting its fibers loosened or messed up if it gets touched a lot.

That is a very cute bear and well finished, though I find it a bit plain for con scenes. If you did villagers from Animal Crossing in that style, that would be so neat (pic related, it's Stitches). I think if you played around doing different colors, throwing in some ribbon bow neck thing, you might be onto something.

Oh man, you did that monster scarf thing right? That's great to hear! I think plain stickers are alright, especially if people like your stuff but can't afford the higher priced items, at least they can get a sticker as some reminder maybe? And you can just throw in the sticker for free when they buy something. Also think about the size of the sticker. If you go with that design and try to fit that on some 1" round sticker, it might be a bit difficult to see the details.
