Needle felted cat portraits. a The embroidery thread inspired me. NRG, I think you just put a lot of taxidermists outa business. Soooooooo real, its scary. Now in order to take it to the limit of creativity I would recommend installing a recording of a meow triggered by a motion detector that goes off when anyone walks by and watch them lose it, big time.  Congrats. johnw |

Admire the craftsmanship, but yeah, creepy. I like cats and dogs, but the 3D reminds me more of hunt trophies.

I love them. Would be a great memorial to a departed family member with 4 legs.

Wondered how doggo (Hobo the Wonderdog! - had to drag that name out of the dark recesses of my feeble mind, lol.) was doing, if he was still kicking. Good to hear that he is.

sweely
I don't think Scott had anything to do with making them, he just posted links to the photos for us to enjoy.
I went to Etsy and typed in "felt cat portraits."
Here is just one of the results. Looks like it is where he found them at.

Do they use real cat fur?

Do they use real cat fur? No, according to the Etsy site, it is wool. "wool, alpaca wool, glass eyes, polymer clay." |

He was a good dog, loved by all who met him (with the possible exception of big Charley) and is no doubt missed greatly. |
