My work
It's all in the details
Every part of my creations are meticulously crafted by hand to be as realistic as possible, from mixing and transplanting many colours of wool to create the elaborate textures of the skin and fur to the eyes, the nails and claws, the teeth and the nose, all of which are made from clay. It is very delicate and time consuming work, but I hope you will agree that the results are more than worth the time.
My creations are delicate and solely for decorative purposes, they should not be
used as toys for children or pets.
Please enjoy the Gallery of my portraits and felted creatures as well as a collection
of photos from happy clients that have been sent to me.
Creating is my passion. My goal is make the most life-like creations to delight my clients, meticulous to the smallest detail. Recent bespoke commissions have taken many forms, from a likeness of a beloved pet to a company mascot. I am always available to discuss your particular needs and offer any advice I can. I also offer colour / monotype portraits of pets or any species.
※Individual pet custom commisions are not accepted.
