This listing is for one (1) VEGAN custom order likeness of your own Dog, Cat, or Rabbit PHONE CHARM. These cell phone charms will be needle felted out of vegetable or synthetic fibers and will not contain any wool like most needle felting. For those allergic to wool, I store these fibers separate from my other wool and will even use separate tools to ensure these charms remain wool free.
I can make any breed (mixed or purebred!) as long as pictures are supplied. When purchasing a custom order, I will be working directly off of photographs that you supply. Each one will measure approximately 0.75" tall. I hand sculpt the noses out of polymer clay. The eyes are gemstones. Both the eyes and nose have been sewn on.
When ordering, please specify if you will be wanting a blue or a pink lanyard.
* The added cost on my vegan needle felted sculptures compared to my wool sculptures reflects the increased cost of materials & difficulty in working with these fibers *
How to order:
Just purchase one of my Custom Order listings (such as this one!) and send payment. Once payment has been received, I will contact you to confirm. At that point, you can send me as many photos of your pet as you wish, the more the better! Once I have started working on your order, I will email to let you know (usually around 1-2 weeks after placing the order). Approximately 1-2 weeks after this, I will email photos of the finished product for your approval.
Please allow at least 2-4 weeks for completion from the date of payment. I almost always have a waiting list, so please keep this in mind when placing an order. Each phone charm takes at least 4-7 hours to complete. If a “rush” is needed, please let me know and I will do my best to accommodate.
Technique:
My Vegan Needle Felted Kritters are sculpted out of vegetable and synthetic fibers. The sculpting is done by poking the wool fibers thousands of times until they interlock and felt together. This process is extremely time consuming. I hand sculpt the noses out of polymer clay. The eyes are either gemstones or polymer clay.
I strive to make each miniature needle felted Kritter as realistic and detailed as possible. Each sculpture is an original One of a Kind (OOAK) work of art, created by artist K. Stahler. Each creation is firmly felted and quite solid. I am confident you will be very pleased with your purchases, as I would never sell something that was not up to the standard of quality I strive to maintain. Every order will be carefully packaged to ensure a safe arrival, and comes from a smoke free home. Please remember that each needle felted sculpture is a delicate work of art and NOT intended to be a toy for young children. Each order will come with a signed Certificate of Authenticity, which will include a photograph of the miniature needle felted Kritter.
