I love to create custom pet portrait sculptures to capture the likeness of a special Boston Terrier friend in our lives. The Boston Terrier pictured here is Zoie and is not for sale, but I put pictures up to give you an idea of what your wooliture may look like. I will include a toy or other accessory, if you would like.

I needlefelt each soft sculpture from alpaca, llama, or sheep wool rovings which are the form wool is in before it is twisted into yarn. Instead of making yarn, I create needlefelt keepsakes for you!

I work from photos you send me or links to photo sites such as flickr or photobucket. If you don''''t have any pictures of your favorite animal type, I will do the research. Each one takes me from 3-6 weeks to create.

You get to pick the pose. I do not need pictures of the pose in order to needlefelt sculpt it for you.

I ship USPS Priority Mail and I pay for it! If you would like a different carrier and it costs more, the difference may be billed to you.

Thank you for stopping by today! You can see more of my past wooliture work in photo albums that are grouped by animal type here RoseThistleArtworks FLICKR Gallery of Woolitures

Testimonials:
"We are so thrilled with the wooliture you made of our precious little TiLoup! You captured his personality so perfectly and did a wonderful job making him down on his front paws in his "wanna play" position. He looks so much like TiLoup that even our cat seems to recognize him and to be welcoming him home! We sincerely appreciate all of the love and care you put into making him and your attention to all the details, from the blue in his eyes to the long fur up the back of his front paws, his sweet little ears . . . everything from his adorable little face to the tip of his tail! He even smells good :o) For many years our precious TiLoup has been sadly missed, dearly loved and always in our hearts. Now it feels like he is back in our home where he belongs. His tender spirit now has a lovely new wooly body to live on in forever. Your work is exceptional Gina - Thank yuo so much for touching our hearts in this special way!"
