The TINY-PET approach

We do not recreate a breed. We study one animal: the tilt of an ear, the shape of a chest, the markings around an eye, and the posture you recognise from across the room.

Inside the studio

Artist shaping fine details on a needle-felted pet sculpture

Made slowly, seen closely

A likeness built fibre by fibre.

Clear photographs become a three-dimensional study. Wool colours are blended, the silhouette is shaped, and the expression is refined by hand.

Real life, translated into wool

Familiar at first glance.

Not photorealism for its own sake. The goal is the expression, posture, and presence that feels most like them.
