The needle felt models that I make are based on the photographs provided by my clients of their pets. They are approximately 5 inches in size and can be made in any position as they have a wire skeleton under the wool fibres. This style of model is often chosen as a memorial pet.   Needle felting involves building up layers of fibres, stabbing them repeatedly thousands of times with a single barbed needle to force the fibres to knit and felt together. These models take a very long time to make.   To create your own pet as a needle felt model I would need good clear close up images of the full face, side views showing body shape and markings and also the pose that you would like your dog made in.

Your plan for today: drop bits of your breakfast, take me for a 'rabbit' walk, tickle my tummy, tickle it until your wrist hurts, give me a big dinner followed by a long walk and then cuddle me until we both fall asleep.
