Custom 3D Needle-Felted Portraits

Capturing the Spirit
of Your Beloved Companion

Each portrait is lovingly handcrafted using premium New Zealand Merino and Corriedale wool. From your photos and memories, I create a unique, one-of-a-kind piece of fibre art that honours the bond you share.

What Are Pet Portraits?

These are not flat paintings. They are three-dimensional needle-felted sculptures built from wool, wire armatures, and tiny sculpted details. Every piece captures the unique personality of your pet: the tilt of their head, the sparkle in their eye, the softness of their fur.

Using 100% NZ wool, glass or hand-painted clay eyes, and a clay-sculpted nose, each portrait is a lasting memorial that brings comfort and joy for years to come.
