You can now buy a custom felted portrait of your pet online

This wall art is amazingly life-like! - by Laura Barry

You can now buy a custom felted portrait of your pet online

According to the RSPCA, 62% of Australian households have a pet, and there are more than 24 million pets currently in Australia. We’re a nation of animal-lovers, that’s for sure, however, some people take the adoration of their pet to the next level.

Got a furred, feathered or scaled friend that you buy little clothes for? Perhaps you spoil them with treats and pet-salon visits, or purchase the latest anti-anxiety pet product the moment it hits stores? But how do you truly celebrate a beloved pet? By purchasing a handcrafted wall-hanging felted portrait of your pet, of course.

When you find your doppelgänger...nose boop them (swipe for nose boop!) Happy #caturday 😽 . . . . . . . . . . #bamaluzhome #noseboop #weaving #tapestrydecor #tapestryweaving #handwoven #weaversofinstagram #wallhanging #textileoftheday #textileart #ihavethisthingwithtextiles #etsylove #etsyfinds #etsy #etsyuk #handmadeuk #weaverfever #uniquedecor #petart #petdecor #petportraits #catlovers #catsofinstagram #catartist #feltedanimals #weeklyfluff #needlefelting #catsofinstagram #ilovecats

Using luxe merino roving wool that is woven onto sterilised driftwood, Elle creates needle-felted animal heads on gorgeous wall-hangings. You can have one or two pets on your wall hanging, and you can choose for it to be woven onto a brass or aluminium rod, or mounted in a glassless wooden frame if you get in touch and let Elle know. She can even make custom orders.

A single-pet portrait is sized at 14cm(W)x65cm(L) and a two-pet portrait is 27cm(W)x65cm(L).

Here he is! 'Baban Jiraf', baby giraffe in Cornish! I had so much fun doing this one, all the little details, even the eyelashes are all handmade. The face alone took longer than the wallhanging it's attached to...well worth it though 🤗.

I made a #unicorn !! Too excited to post a pic, it's not even on my website yet! It's ears, nose and horn are all made using un-spun merino wool, poked millions of times with a needle. The horn is then gold leafed, swipe for a side profile 🤗 . . . . _____ www.bamaluzhome.com _____ . . . . . . . . #BamaluzHome #nurserydecor #girlsnursery #nurserywallart #nurserywalldecor #unicorndecor #unicornlovers #nurserydecoration #unicornart #nurseryroom #niromastudio #uniquedecor #craftsposure #etsyuk #etsy #wovenart #wovenwallhanging #fiberartistsofinstagram #woventapestry #fiberart #handmadeuk #handsthatmake #handmadewallhanging #kidsroomdecor #kidsroominspo #nurseryideas #themeddecor #feltanimals #nurseryaccessories
