Felted Snail Pal

After buying some felting equipment in a shop last year I didn't really know what to do with it. I couldn't find many how-tos or patterns on the web, so just decided to make something up myself. I made this guy up as I went along and think he came out pretty well. To make the shell I used a temple effect- making every layer nice and thick but smaller than the layer before.
I like to call him Gerald.
