I Make Wool Copies Of Peoples’ Pets

I use people's photos to create custom dog sculptures

To make these felt dogs, I start by building a wire armature.  I use dog breed guidelines and figures of dog skeletons to create a wire "skeleton" to build my sculpture on

I then use my customer's photos as well as breed guidelines to felt the actual dog.  I pay special attention to each dog's unique characteristics, such as coat color, patterns, and markings

My ultimate goal is to create a miniature replica of that particular dog

Because my sculptures contain wire armatures, the dogs are completely poseable- they can be posed into multiple positions

Each dog takes approximately two to three weeks to complete
