About this Product
This needle felted rabbit was created using wool and a single barbed needle using the unique art of needle felting. It is created by poking wool into a background material. The repeated stabbing with the needle makes the wool bind together. Colors are layered to create a "painted" portrait effect.
This would make a lovely addition to your home as wall decor or displayed on a table. Great gift for the bunny lover. This piece was felted on linen and framed in a 7" hoop.

Meet the Maker
Hi there! I'm Mariella! Thank you for visiting my shop! I create beautiful custom needle felted portraits of pets and other subjects that are near and dear to me! Anyone can own a painting of their pet, but not everyone has a realistic wool felted "painting"! I use a barbed needle as a brush and wool as my paint!
Needle felting is a very meditative art form. Using a barbed needle, small amounts of different color wool are poked into a background material. I use either linen or wool felt sheets. Layer upon layer colors are added to give depth and texture. Most of my work is pet portraits. I use a photo (pet owner’s choice) to create a wool rendition of their beloved pet.
I started needle felting in 2018 when I learned about the art form. My first attempt was to make a family of owl figures. I then graduated to bunnies and sheep. After about two years, I found the 2D technique of “painting” with wool and I haven’t looked back.
It really is very heartwarming to hear the reactions of the recipients of my portraits. A good amount of my portraits are memorial based and those are the most heartfelt!
I also “paint” other subjects such as birds and seasonal items which are ready to purchase pieces. Visit my shop often to see new additions!
I hope you enjoy looking at my work and I look forward to working with you to make a truly unique and special portrait of your pet! Let me portray your beloved pet using the unique art of needle felting!
