This artist original needle felted Papillon was handmade by me, artist T. Moore, aka tfmoore5mee, using a dry felting sculpting technique called needle felting, a time consuming hand sculpting process of interlocking and shaping fibers using only special barbed needles, making each needle felted creation a unique, one of a kind soft sculpture ( OOAK ) . This tiny pet has a wire armature and is gently Poseable.  I never use patterns in my OOAK art.  Needle felted sculptures are not intended for small children but are great pets for dolls.  They are all 100% hand made by me and offered direct from me the artist.

I created this brown and white Papillon puppy by making a simple wire armature, over which I tightly hand needle felted this animal using natural sheep's wool. I felted on very soft fibers including mohair for the long coat and butterfly ears, styled it with a needle, and trimed it to the small breed's coat cut. This tiny pup is carefully needle sculpted for a realistic look; details include dark lips, pawpads, and the tiny eyes are black Swarovski Pearl crystal glass bead eyes.

I handmade the tiny black nose with 2 nostrils by carefully sculpting, detailing, and handpainting polymer clay. It was painted with a semigloss paint for a realistic wet nose look.

Like many of my handmade dogs and cats, this little Pappillon pup has hand blended fur with unique color variations, subtle lighter and darker shades and unique tones, have been used to create a very real looking coat coloring for this tiny hand made dog.

There is a dime coin in the pictures for size comparison of this tiny animal.

This miniature Papillion puppy doggie measures just 2 inches long nose to butt, not including the tail, or 1 inch at the shoulder, a compatible 1:12 size pet for dolls or dollhouses, and fits in your hand. Needle felted sculptures are great doll pets but are not intended for small children.  Please keep away from real pets who may see this as a toy. This OOAK animal will come with a Photo ID card showing the sculpture's picture, the year, and signed by me, the artist, certifying authenticity. I own copyrights to all my art.  Contact me if you would like to see more pictures of this item.
