Needle-Felted Portraits

Enduring love touchstones for you and your pets.

At Ethelwerx, I create handcrafted needle-felted portraits that honour the spirit of your cherished companions. Each piece is carefully sculpted from wool to capture their unique likeness in a form you can hold and treasure.

What began as a personal tribute to my beloved dog has grown into a passion for creating lifelike, one-of-a-kind mementos. With a background in fine art and sculpture, I craft each portrait with precision and care—whether as a Christmas ornament or a full-figure tribute.

My Work

Each piece is sculpted using fine needle-felting techniques, bringing depth and dimension to every detail. Portraits can be posed on meaningful objects—like a bone or a favourite toy—or designed as freestanding figures. Every creation is made with love and attention to capture the true essence of your pet.
