Pet Portraits
Pet portraits are the thing I’m asked for most, and I make them two ways, as a little felted figure you can hold or as a watercolour painting for the wall. Either way I work from your own photos, so it’s your pet and nobody else’s.
Felted in Wool From £35
I build each portrait up by hand, layer by layer, until the markings and the tilt of the head look right, and then it sits on a natural wood slice base. They make lovely gifts, and a lot of people ask me for one as a keepsake to remember a pet they’ve lost.
Prices start at £35 and depend on the size and how much detail there is, and I’ll always tell you the cost before I start.
Painted in Watercolour From £35
I also paint pets in watercolour, either a portrait of their face or a little scene of the two of you out together, like the walks below. Paintings start at £35 too and the price depends on the size, so send me the photo you’d like painted and I’ll let you know.
People and Pets Together
I make people as well, couples and whole families with their dog or cat beside them, and there are a few in the shop to give you an idea. See the people and pets I’ve made.
How It Works
Send Me Your Photos
A few clear photos showing your pet’s face, their body shape and any markings help me the most, and for a painting just send the one you’d like me to paint.
I’ll Give You a Price
Once I’ve seen them I’ll let you know the cost and timing, which is usually around two weeks, because I often need to buy in wool to match your pet’s colours.
Collect or Post
I’ll send you progress photos along the way and let you know when it’s ready to collect or have posted to you.
