FAQs

  • If you are considering commissioning a sculpture, I would be delighted to hear from you via email or Instagram

    You are welcome to send a photograph of your pet or describe the animal you have in mind. I will happily discuss the possibilities and guide you through the process.

  • If you would like to commission a sculpture, please get in touch with a brief description of the subject you would like created along with your location. This allows me to confirm availability and calculate careful packing and international shipping.

  • PLEASE NOTE PHOTOS ARE ONLY REQUIRED IF YOU ARE GIVEN A COMMISSION PLACE

    To create an accurate and expressive likeness, I work from photographs of your pet. Ideally these should be taken at your animal’s eye level and include:

    • A clear front view of the head

    • A side view of the head

    • Left and right standing side views of the body to show coat markings

    • Close-ups of paws, tail and any distinctive features

    The clearer and more varied the photographs, the more faithfully I can capture your pet’s character and appearance.

    What if I would like a sculpture of an animal that isn’t my pet?

    If you would like a sculpture of a particular animal or species — such as a wolf, donkey or bird — I can work from high-quality reference images and stock photography.

    What size are the sculptures?

    Each sculpture is individually created, so the size varies depending on the species, breed and chosen pose.

    As a general guide:

    • Standing poses: approximately 17–30 cm in length

    • Sitting or lying poses: approximately 12–17 cm in length

    If you have something specific in mind, please feel free to discuss this when you enquire.

    Can I choose the pose?

    Yes. Many clients choose a pose that reflects their pet’s personality — perhaps the way they sit, rest, or watch the world. If you have a particular pose in mind, reference photographs are very helpful. I will happily advise if you need assistance choosing.

  • Yes, sculptures are carefully packaged and shipped internationally.

    Due to current shipping restrictions relating to handmade animal fibre items, I am unable to ship to EU countries, but I can ship to most other international destinations.

  • Yes. If you wish, I can incorporate a small amount of your pet’s fur into the sculpture during the felting process, making the piece even more personal and meaningful.
