About it
A needle-felted fox, made on a computer: wool-like felt for the body, about 251,000 fine hairs for the fluff, and two glass bead eyes, then drawn with splats. Real needle felting works the other way: a barbed needle is jabbed into loose wool again and again until the fibers tangle into a solid shape.
Tap it and a ripple runs through the fox as it gives a small hop. Drag to circle it and look at the fuzzy edge of its tail, where the fine hairs show best.
