Ode to Dog

As you may well know, we do love dogs around here and that is why we were so happy to find Amelia Makes Art!   It is a fabulous little wonderland where you can have the exact likeness of your dog made into a minature felted version but with an artsy twist because it is all handmade.  Each one of these cute little stinkers 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.  It is a work of art!
