Felting Contest

English Bulldog

For the second time the on-line shop where I usually buy the supplies for my woolen hand-made production is holding a felting contest. 

And again, 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.

She looks like a little fluffy cloud, right? :)

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!

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 :)

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”.
