Portrait Pets

Amelia Makes Art and she certainly does! Clever-fingers Amelia manages to create pet portraits of second glance quality, and in her own words, "Each little pooch is sculpted out of Icelandic and Merino wool. The technique is needle felting and uses a special barbed needle tool to create the form. Each dog is one of a kind and sculpted in fiber like one would sculpt clay. There is no sewing, stuffing or pattern of any kind." Cheers to that.
Fox says- "I'd love a wee fox. Naturally."
Pearl says- "My poor Fido is getting quite long in the tooth you know, so instead of having the taxidermist on hand perhaps Amelia's work might be a more cuddly and less weepy option. Hmmm..."
