Story of the Month
Max’s Oil Portrait on Canvas
About this pet：A two-year-old Westie who wears his groomer bandana like a medal and answers to “snack o’clock.”
Their story：Max was adopted a week before Christmas; the blue scarf became part of his “first-day home” photo and every holiday since.
How we made it：We built an underpainting to separate warm background from cool whites, layered wet-on-wet fur strokes, then popped tiny eye-lights for that Westie sparkle. Sealed in a satin varnish and set in a solid wood float frame.
“He looks just like our Max!” — @Luna
Scout’s Premium Hand-Tooled Leather Pet Portrait Keychain — 3D Relief
About this pet：Trail-loving Westie, tongue-out sprinter, proud owner of a well-worn brown collar.
Their story：Scout “guides” weekend hikes by choosing the path with the most daisies—then demands snacks as payment.
How we made it：Vegetable-tanned top-grain leather, cut and carved by hand (no laser/UV). We modeled a low-relief muzzle with beveling, hand-painted the cool whites, burnished edges with beeswax, and finished with our antique-copper swivel clasp. Gift-ready from the box.
“It’s literally Scout’s happy face in my palm.” — @Casey
Kiko’s Needle-Felt 3D Pet Portrait (Framed)
About this pet：A foxy-cute mixed breed with one playful ear that loves to tilt at questions.
Their story：Kiko was found outside a bakery; now she “supervises” every breakfast and steals hearts (never croissants).
How we made it：We blended merino fibers to match her warm ginger coat, needle-felted the muzzle and cheek pads for soft volume, set high-gloss glass eyes, and mounted the piece on linen inside a walnut shadow box for depth.
“I gasped—those eyes are so real.” — @Maya
