I am impressed with Amelia’s felting art and on how realistic her pets are and I can see why her ETSY shop “Amelia Makes Art” is so popular.   Several years ago I did the same type of thing in clay and people just love to have their pet’s immortalized through art.  Amelia lives in Oregon and she has a true talent with felt.  When you visit her blog or ETSY shop, it is difficult to tell the living pets from the felted ones except for their size.   She creates your pets from photographs of yours, or a friends pet.  She also has some very lovely felted soap.Amelia is talents do not end with felting; she is also an accomplished painter and sells her work in her shop. Amelia:“I am in love with making these little needle felted dogs and would love to make one for you! I can make a dog of the breed you love or I can make a portrait of your dog from photos you would email me.

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.

Small breeds average 6″ tall by 7″ long, large breeds about 7″ x 10″

You can also find non-commissioned needle felted dogs in my shop from time to time.

So write to me if you are interested and we can get a portrait of your fur kid in the making. I make cats too!”
