Hi. I make pet portraits out of wool... 🐑 Animals. Needle-Felting. Arts and Crafts. Cornwall. Willow the dog. Life is currently a little different due to cancer treatment. www.thefeltmenagerie.com

I love animal's eyes. Full of trust, full of unconditional love. The windows to the soul. If I get the eyes right at the start of a portrait, I'm happy.
I'm recovering from surgery, Willow continues to be the bestest, patient dog! #needlefelting #fiberart #animalsarefamily #petportrait #cats #dogs
Made in memory of beautiful Monet a few years ago. Made by needle-felting wool onto a felt background.

Ah, you've made my day, thank you Julio, you're very kind 🙏☺️
Thanks Jayne, just had a chemo session 😴 glad I've no need to go out in this rain! ☔
They're a bit special aren't they?! 🖤
Ah, thank you! Yes, it's needle-felted wool 🐑🙂
Thank you for the reminder Katy. I made a mental note to do it this time but my current chemo brain is unreliable, I barely remember my own name. Next time x
Black cats are often overlooked at rescue centres, I'm not sure why? I find them stunning! This needle felted wool portrait was made in memory of beautiful Luna #minipanther #blackcats #animalfamilies #fibreart #woolart #hoopart #woolpainting #handmadeart #maker #needlefelting #petportrait #wool
Made entirely by needle-felting wool, Molly is a 13 year old Collie who had to be sneakily photographed without her owners finding out! 📸 #bordercollies #collie #paintingwithwool #fibreart #woolpainting #needlefelting #wool #petportrait #felting #cornwallartist #animalfamilies #dogs #blueskyartist
If the undercoat has been brushed out and is soft it felts by itself or into the wool I've found. If it's maybe a memorial piece and the fur has been shaved, or just naturally coarser, I always blend it with the wool and on top of the wool. Same with whiskers I'm sent, I wrap them into the wool.. 😉
Ah, that's so kind, thank you x🙏❤️
They are marvellous dogs aren't they? It was okay but I needed to blend it in with the wool as it was quite coarse. I've worked with a lot of different bed hair and it varies a lot!
I'm so sorry to hear about your poodle friend... I do love them. I'd advise drawing out the curls really carefully and then it really helps I found when working with the wool. Xx
