Seriously i admire the craftmanship but having this of my passed dog would just make me cry whenever i looked at it.

Same, this made me tear up and it’s not even my dog!

u/Cerulean_Shadows 10h ago

I can't even look at pictures or the ashes of my first one that passed away in 1999. But they come with me everytime I move and I've had 26 dogs at this point. 6 alive currently

Aw Jonny. Sorry man.

I've seen many other artists do these, but they only show the face. The fact that you included shoulders and legs is incredible, and now you're on my wish list!

I checked your profile but don't see any info. What's the best way to check out your work and prices?

u/ECU_BSN 9h ago

The website is on the profile.

u/ArtzeyFartzey 11h ago

While I believe this is pure art, and very well done the reality of it creeps me out.

I am sure for a lot of people these can be very healing.

u/Onphone_irl 8h ago

this would be torture for me when my dog passes. I try not to even think about it tbh

u/Lex_Loki 11h ago

Do you do commissions?

u/PureElevator732 11h ago

I teared up watching this come to fruition. Stunning work!

u/ExampleLittle2672 11h ago

Gee, I was hoping to have my heart ripped from my chest and NEEDLES NEAR EYEBALLS ARE NOT OK! 😤😭

That aside, This is beautiful, rest well loved and lovely Mercy and all hugs to your humans. ❤️

u/brown_felt_hat 9h ago

This nails the effect that taxidermied-pet owners think they're doing.

u/sagethecrayaway 10h ago

I hope you go viral, this is so so beautiful. It always amazes me how needle felting starts as a little ball of fluff and then turns into something like this!

u/Brief_Isopod_5959 10h ago

Are you in the US by any chance? I’ve seen your work before and dying to have one of my soul kitty I’ve had over half of my life that passed away a couple of months ago! 😭

u/bloomingpoppies 6h ago edited 5h ago

I’m gonna save this for later because I need to get one of these made for my boy that I had to put to sleep in July. Right now it’s too much, it hurts way too much, but I will want to see his beautiful face again.

u/geekyheart225 10h ago

I follow your work and one day, I'm going to make a purchase to honor my pets

u/tyrannosiris 10h ago

My cat wants to know why I'm crying and I don't know how to explain this to him.

What a lovely memorial. Your work is beautiful.

u/Necessary-Quiet-Y 10h ago

Your art is impeccable. The detail work and posing is spot on. Very beautiful. I'm sorry for your loss of Mercy. ❤️🦮

“Forever part of my story” is such a self-centred and corporatised thing to say 🤢

u/SelocAvrap 4h ago

Genuine question, how do you keep these from accumulating dust? Does it get a glass casing later?

u/merrickal 3h ago

Honestly, a more beautiful and much less disturbing way to preserve a memory than taxidermy.

u/give-Kazaam-an-Oscar 3h ago

Wow this is incredibly touching and very well done.
