Need help making cat shark face
I am crocheting a shark cat but I don't like how the face keeps turning out. Can somebody please give me advice. Specifically for the cat face, the most recent version is included minus the mouth, I ripped that out already. Also I am a beginner at this so I can't do complicated eyes.

My 4th creation
This was actually my first creation but i did it halfway and got distracted with another 3 projects, came back to finish it today. Now it doesn’t look good and I’m not proud of it. But oh well, what’s done is done…! 😪

Does this tool exist?
I've recently started seeing a crochet hook handle that holds 3 hooks in a row, and was just wondering, is there also a version of this for felting needles?
The only multi-needle holders I've seen for felting have been the ones that hold the needles in a circle, and presumably at a wider diameter than I require. I make felted dreadlocks and necklaces/bracelets, so I need something narrow, to hold multiple needles in a nice, neat row, in order to achieve what I need to more quickly than I can using just a single needle.
I do wet felt these projects too, but sometimes they don't felt up too well with water, or need to be needle felted for other reasons.
So, is there such a tool as this for felting needles?
Thanks in advance x

My First Project vs My Most Recent!
This cow (if I can even call it that) was a gift for my sister since she’s obsessed with cows. It’s been 6 months since then and I decided a day ago to redo the cow with the skills I now have. Boy am I stoked to see how far I’ve come! The first cow took me roughly 6hrs to make whereas the most recent one took me 3.5hrs! Yay for progress! 🥹

What do you guys think is the most unique thing about Needle Felting?
The stuff we make is somewhat similar to what some people can make with clay sculptures. But what do you guys think is the most unique thing about needle felting as a medium?

Identifying needle sizes
Hiya, I've got a few different sets of needles that Ive been gifted, which have no sizes listed - is there any guides for how I can go about measuring them to identify the size and shape of them?

What’s the best method for shaping?
I recently started needle deleting, I enjoy it but I find I have trouble shaping things the way I’d like them to look

Adhesive spray for fuzzies?
I haven't tried yet I want opinions first. Would a light coat of adhesive spray help keep the fuzzies down or would it ruin the project?
