A custom wool sculpture is a wonderful way to treasure your dog forever and it is a very unique way to hold a memory of a dear member of a family, only those who are really close to an animal can understand. Our dogs are important for us for many reason, but the main one, is they take part of our hearts and become the part of our lifes forever.

something about the project
Hi everyone!
My name is Diana and welcome to my little website about my favourite hobby - creating needle felted sculptures!
From my childhood I can’t imagine my life without two very important things - dogs and art. That’s because all my hobbies, activities and work - it’s all about love to them!
First of all - I’m a vet, professional dog groomer and handler and happy owner of the most beautiful dog in this World - International Champion, airedale terrier called August.
What about art? I love everything about it - drawing, sculpting, photographing and etc...
Once, a few years ago I saw a picture of very beautiful needle felted toy. I knew nothing about this technique, but I decided that I really want to try to do the same toy by myself! So I went to the neariest hobby-shop and bought my first needles and some sheep wool.
My first felted toy was... an airedale, of course! Just because I have never done felting before, it was a bit challanging, but It was so interesting to make him! And so wonderful that all my other skills helped me in it - just because I’m a vet I know anatomy and helped me to make him look like a real dog, and because I’m a groomer I knew how to make him a beautiful haircut.
I post photos of my first toy on my Facebook-page, and to my surprise, I was asked to make the same to order. And then one more time. And more, and more! So I started to make them for people all over the world and was so happy!
Then I understood that my little hobby should have a name. The main inspiration of my work with this toys was always my airedale August. So I called it “Always August”!
At this moment I create not only airedales, but also another breeds too. But of course Im absolutely obsessed with terriers!
My little wooly sculptures lives all over the world - in the USA, France, Germany, Spain, Finland, United Kingdom and many other countries!
P.s. Unfortunately, in the summer 2021, in the middle of July, my dear August passed away while sleeping in the age of only 6 years old. Now I have two another little assistants - bearded dachshund Amy and lakeland terrier Vanya.
With the best wishes,
Diana.
