I Make Highly Realistic Needle Felted Dogs And Cats With Personality!

ADVERTISEMENT

I combine my background in animal behaviour/biology with many years of teaching art at a community art school to create highly realistic needle felted miniatures of peoples beloved cats and dogs. They are more than just replicas – they have that extra special spark of character which makes them almost seem like they are going to move!

I'm a trained teacher with a background in animal behaviour (MSc), and art teaching (Waikato Society or Arts Art School, Hamilton, New Zealand). As well as my felting I train my blue heeler Sofie in canine freestyle and Rally-Freestyle Elements. I also enjoy drawing and painting animal portraits and collecting books! I've also just finished a PhD in Education for Sustainability which is something I'm very passionate about.

Absolutely great work. I have seen people do needle-felt work. It takes a lot of patience. How long does it take to complete a piece like this?

Oh thank you ! I usually lose count of the hours but a large one like this probably took over 24 hours spread over several months !
