Whinny & Woof Sculptures North Hampshire artist Christine Allen has literally shaped a new way to celebrate the contribution a dog or horse makes to our lives, through exquisite, ‘Whinny & Woof’ bespoke needlefelt sculptures. Each sculpture is created from natural wool fleeces through a method called ‘dry needle felting’. When commissioning a bespoke piece, Christine asks for a selection of photos from several different angles, so that a real likeness can be captured in the sculpture. A small piece of the animal’s hair can also be included within the sculpture. www.whinnyandwoof.uk
