This is a needle-felted, yellow Labrador Retriever puppy. I am working on a collection of different dog breeds, and labs are one of my favorites.

This puppy is made of a gorgeous, off-white Romney wool roving. The basic skeleton is wire pipe cleaners. He has his own red collar with gold ID tag.  This figure stands 3.75" tall.

He is handmade with all the quirks and imperfections that make fiber art so wonderful. These are my artistic interpretations, and though I strive for a realistic style in my work, they are indeed interpretations.

This is a felted creation from Vermont fiber artist and novelist Ann Hagman Cardinal. She brings her funky, New York City, Latina vibe to this craft of her adopted home state of Vermont. From Calavera sugar skulls, to backyard New England birds, to custom pet portraits, she infuses each piece with her unique style.
