Things that inspire me ...

In my blog you will read not only about me, but also about my friends, who all are creative hand-makers.
Today I introduce to you Alla Sharkova - ta da! :)

Original Stained Glass. Interview with Alla Sharkova

Jerusalem Menorah - Stained Glass Gift for Hanukkah

How have you started working with glass?

I have been creating different things since I was very young. I learned to sew at 6, to knit and crochet at 8, made my own clothes, worked with wood, drew with ink and ballpoint pens, had a photo lab in my bathroom… but nothing stuck for a long time. Then I moved to the USA and for a while had to work and study a lot, so I would only draw a little.

Felted dog sculpture: Shih-Tzu - a small miracle:)

My new felted art-work - Needle Felted Artist Dog - Shih Tzu

This charming little dog - shih-tzu "Cloudlet"

 About breed:
The Shih Tzu is often referred to as a "small lion". They originated in Tibet, but are most associated with China where they were highly revered as a palace pet and prized companion. The Shih Tzu is an active, happy, and affectionate breed.

Felted sculpture - My lovely breed Shih Tzu

This offering is for one (1) custom needle felted realistic wool sculpture of a dog of your favourite breed or of your own dog. In the pictures you can see a few examples of custom work I have done recently.

Do you like this breed of dog, or are you a happy owner of a dog of this breed?
You have a chance to become the owner of an exclusive, unique needle felted sculpture or a portrait of the doggie of your favourite breed or of your own pet.

I can make any breed of dog! Pay attention to other listings in my shop. Even if you do not find there the breed you are interested in, contact me, send me photos of your favourite breed or your pet, and I will make a personalized sculpture for you.

I contribute many hours and love to my artwork and always try to reach a result as close to the breed standards as possible. This gives each creation its own unique design which can never be duplicated. It is real OOAK (one of a kind)!

My felted wool sculptures are usually about 3"-7" in size.
Please, remember! My sculptures are delicate pieces of art and are NOT intended to be a toy for children!

Needle Felted realistic wool sculpture "Shih Tzu Beauty"

How to order:
Just purchase one of my Custom Order listings (such as this one, for example) and send payment. Upon receiving payment I will contact you, and we will discuss sculpture details - the size, a pose, accessories. Send me photos of your dog (the more, the better), and I will try to embody its characteristic features, color, a favourite pose in my work.
Usually I begin work on the order within a week and I will inform you about it at once. Making a sculpture will take about one week also. Then I will send you the photos of the accomplished sculpture for approval by e-mail

Of course, this is my favourite breed :)

Felted wool scarf BUTTERFLY

Realistic animal sculpture Black Scottish Terrier (Needle Felted)

***

Only natural wool possesses the spinning and felting abilities during the secondary processing and people took advantage of these qualities 8000 years ago.

The history of felting dates back thousands of years. Such universal material as felt was used by different nations in ancient times – from Asian Nomads to Chinese and Roman warriors.

In recent time the fans of needlework pay more and more interest to felting. They reopen for themselves all the pleasures of the process of working with the materials which can be shaped, embroidered and decorated to your own liking.

These materials and techniques rapidly become more and more popular especially because they are used by some outstanding fashion designers such as Sonia Rykiel the “Queen of Knits”.
