Handmade wool felt pet portraits
We needle-felt a portrait of your pet from your own photographs — the ear that never sat straight, the markings only you would notice.
Two ways to have them made
The same photographs, two very different crafts. Wool felt is needle-felted by hand and takes weeks; 3D printing is modelled from your photos and finished sooner. Both come through the same review before you pay.
Needle-felted by hand, one at a time. The texture is nothing like a printed surface, and no two pieces are identical. Longer to make.
Wool felt · most chosen
A needle-felt portrait of the head—or the head and front paws—mounted in a solid frame. The format that reads most clearly at a glance.
Wool felt · smallest
A palm-sized felt sculpture, small enough to keep on a desk or carry with you. Fewer fine details by nature of the size.
Wool felt · most detailed
A free-standing full-body sculpture, built around your pet's posture, coat and proportions. Our longest lead time.
Modelled from your photographs, then printed. Faster and less expensive than felt, and the Studio Edition lets you approve the model before anything is made.
3D printed · from $129
A full-colour 3D printed figurine made from your photographs. The fastest, most affordable way to have your pet on the desk.
3D printed · studio edition
Sculpted in ZBrush from your photos, approved by you as a 360° white model, then hand-painted. Engraved base and numbered certificate.

How it works
Queue time, making time and shipping are quoted separately, so you always know which wait you are in.
Pick the size, then attach your photographs right on the product page — several angles are better than one. You can add more from your account later.
A person looks at every set of photographs before work starts. If something would not work, we email you rather than guessing.
Your piece is needle-felted by hand from wool. In-progress questions are handled by email while it is on the bench.
We photograph the finished piece. You approve it or ask for adjustments, and it ships once you are happy.
Made by hand, in one place
Loose wool is compressed with barbed needles until it holds a shape. It is slow, and it is the only way to get fibre to behave like fur.
What we reproduce
Set, tilt and whether one ear falls differently — usually the first thing an owner recognises.
Blazes, socks, brindle and tabby stripes, placed where they actually sit on your pet.
Colour, shape and that particular expression. Wool cannot replicate a glossy shine.
The sit, the head tilt, the way they held their weight — captured from your reference photo.

Timing, honestly
Estimates, not guarantees. Import duties and taxes are the recipient's responsibility.
Before you order
One clear, front-facing photo in good light is the minimum. A side view and any photo showing distinctive markings help a lot. Older, faded or scanned photos are fine — send what you have and we will tell you honestly what can be reproduced.
The queue, the making time and shipping are three separate waits and we quote all three before you pay. Current queue and making estimates are shown on each product page; shipping is typically 10–15 business days for standard service.
It will be a recognisable, hand-made interpretation — not a replica. Wool has a different texture from fur, we cannot reproduce glossy coats, colours vary between screens, and smaller pieces hold fewer fine details. We work from one main reference angle and that angle cannot be changed once making has started.
Before making starts, usually yes. Once the piece is on the bench the main angle is fixed, because the whole form is built around it. Tell us early if you are unsure which photo to use.
Yes — adjustments within the agreed design are included. We photograph the finished piece and you can ask for changes before it ships. New requests (a different pose, a different pet, a different size) are treated as a new commission and re-quoted.
In many cases yes. Contact us before ordering and we will confirm the current process and the mailing address. Fur is incorporated before making begins, so it must arrive first.
Shipping is calculated at checkout by destination. Import duties and taxes are the recipient's responsibility and are not included in the item price or shipping cost.
Photograph the packaging and the piece and contact us straight away. Because every order is made specifically for you, custom pieces are not returnable for a change of mind — but a genuine production fault or transit damage is our problem to resolve, not yours.
