Needle felting artist and teacher Tatiana Kalnins (PhD) creates highly realistic dogs, cats and more from photos. She combines her background in science (MSc in animal behaviour) and art education to create felted miniatures by commission that are more than just a ‘copy’ of a photograph – they have that special spark of personality that makes you look twice! For more images see her Facebook page ‘FeltedPaws by Tatiana’.
