Welcome to my gallery
of collectible dog figurines handmade of wool!
All needle felted dogs displayed on this Web site are one
of a
kind (OOAK), handcrafted with love and
great care. Not only can needle felting with wool
produce striking details, but it also brings the statue
to life, gives it a soul, and allows that warm cozy
feel. These dog figurines are made entirely of
wool roving, usually including eyes, nose, mouth, paws,
etc. No filling materials are used, and no stitches are
applied. Some dogs in this gallery can be posed thanks to a
reinforcing, flexible metal wire inside. The dog's body, head, and
legs are pressed by felting needles until they are very
firm (hard felted). The snout and other body
details are also finely shaped by felting needles, and
finishing layers are added until the dog figurine
resembles a given dog breed with its body profile, coat
texture, colors, and facial features. The eyes are
either needle felted (in most cases) or glass. The coat of
long-haired dogs is created by either combing or
implanting wool fibers. Achieving a lifelike feel, the
look, and behavior of an individual dog in a woolen dog
figurine is artistically challenging and can take weeks
to accomplish. The dog statues on display range are 4 to 10 inches tall (10-25 cm), and are the
artist’s genuine and original work. Firmly felted and
durable, these needle felted dogs are nevertheless
lightweight. The statues in this collection are
exquisitely made and make fine and truly unique
collectible items. View a humorous
slideshow "Needle Felted Dogs Tango" of some of the
dogs from this gallery.
Custom dog figurines
A custom needle felted dog figurine
is intended to resemble and honor "that very
dog". Although the real dog can never be fully replaced, a warm
feel and look of the felted likeness of someone's beloved dog
could be of much sentimental value and a source of lasting
affection for the dog owner. Custom projects were completed by
the artist for
multiple dog breeds, including Jack Russell Terrier, Wire Fox
Terrier, Pembroke Welsh corgi, Shih Tzu etc., also mixed breeds (e.g.
Pointer/Labrador/Border Collie). For a sample of custom made
collectible dog figurines
(with a reference dog photo)
please visit the page dedicated to
custom needle felted dogs. See more breeds in the gallery
(currently over 45 dogs of more than 25 breeds and breed
combinations) and do not hesitate to ask if you do not see a
breed of your interest for a custom project.
