About Us

My Woolever Friend

We create one-of-a-kind, handcrafted wool portraits that honor the once-in-a-lifetime bond between people and their pets.

About Us

Our journey began in 2017, when Tina, a self-taught artist, discovered needle felting and recognized its natural texture and warmth as the ideal medium for lifelike pet portraits. What started as a deeply personal journey of honoring our own beloved pets has grown into a global community of animal lovers who understand that pets are never “just pets.” They’re family. They’re healers. They’re best friends, soulmates, and anchors during life’s storms.

Each portrait is made with extraordinary care and emotional detail using the art of needle felting. We spend hours—sometimes days or weeks—layering wool strand by strand, often incorporating real fur or whiskers to create an intimate tribute that feels like your beloved friend is truly home again.

Today, our studio focuses on signature frame portraits crafted to the highest standard. Our goal is to create tributes that feel as if your beloved friend is truly home again.

Never Just a Pet. Always a Woolever Friend.
