A custom, posable, needle-felted portrait of your pet, made just for you!

The photos show an example of a papillon dog commission that I have handcrafted in the past.

Like in the example, your sculpture will fit on the palm of your hand and will be made from natural wool/fibres, with a wire skeleton, making it posable. It will have glass eyes and wax and/ or polymer clay detailing, such as the nose, eyelids, hooves or paw pads.

I am very happy to make any animal of your choice, just send me a message and we can collaborate and discuss the details further together. A portrait of your dog or cat will be in this price bracket, but if you would like something more complex or something simpler, let me know and I can direct you to the listing that suits your choice best. I take great care over the detail and accuracy of my subject to make your sculpture as true to life as possible, so before starting, we will need to discuss the specifics of what you'd like. You can email across photos of the animal you'd like created, or I can research this myself, based on your requirements.

My current waiting time is approximately 3-4 weeks, but please let me know if you have a specific deadline and I will do my best to work around this.

These sculptures are not fragile, but could be picked apart, so could pose a choking hazard for young children.

Needle felting is the art of sculpting wool or other fibres by repeatedly stabbing the fibre with a special barbed needle. It is a craft that requires great patience and care, but with hugely rewarding results.

Please feel very welcome to get in touch about any specific species or breeds of animals and I'll be very happy to create them for you!
