Here is another combination of felt and trellis stitch. I lightly needle felted the eye shape, iris and pupil to the felt background; then worked several rows of trellis stitch over the top to create the dimensional eyelids.
Brilliant application of the trellis stitch! And I love the combo of needlefelting and embroidery. I just published a link to this post on my blog. I hope it brings you a few extra clicks.

Oh my goodness! What you are doing with the trellis stitch, twisted trellis. I'm still struggling with getting the spacing right with trellis stitch for filling a leaf shape! As you will see. Boy, am I a slow learner! Love all your experiments with the stitch. What fun.

I too wanted to say that this is a great interpretation of trellis stitch.
Thanks, Kathleen, Denise and Sharon!
