Handmade Needle Felted Pet Sculptures
FeltPets came to be when I stumbled upon a book in a store, which illustrated this new craft of needle felting (this was back in 2007). Sculpting wool using a little barbed needle which interlocks the fibres together and shapes the wool. A more detailed description of the needle felting process is found in the method section.
This curiosity has lead me to reproducing people's beloved pets in miniature, people from all over the world, dogs and cats of all shapes and breeds, and even rabbits.
People are united in their love of animals, and their companion animals become a part of the family. I share this with my own Jack Russell Terrier and it was her that inspired me to portray her likeness in a miniature wool sculpture in the very beginning.
I hope that these little felted wool sculptures bring a smile to people's faces - a little reminder of those little souls that light up our lives.
For a personalised miniature felt dog or cat sculpture all you need is to provide a few images or photos of your pet and I can create a mini likeness in a few weeks. Contact me with your order.
Feltpet sculptures are made by commission only and are made to order.
