Holy cuteness alert!! Amelia Santiago of Amelia Makes Art sculpts animal masterpieces using a technique of needle felting the same way one would sculpt clay. She doesn’t use patterns, thread or sewing just a needle, some felt and her skillful imagination! She specializes in commissioned portraits and works from a photo of your pet. When I found her on Twitter, I was blown away by how true to life her sculptures are. Truly amazing works of art to snuggle with or put on a shelf for display. Makes an awesome birthday gift that will never pee on the floor or chew your shoes! Prices for commissioned pet portraits range from $215-$265 – with each pet taking 20+ hours to create!
