Our Process — From Photo to Forever Friend
PHASE 01
The Soul Analysis
Before we touch the wool, we study the spirit. Our artists analyze your pet’s photos from every angle to capture their unique expression and personality.
PHASE 02
The Artistic Blueprint
We start with a detailed hand-drawn sketch based on your photos. This isn’t just a drawing; it’s a map of every unique spot and feature, ensuring no detail is overlooked
PHASE 03
Building the Skeleton
Using a specialized wire armature, we construct a poseable core. This ensures your keepsake isn’t just a statue, but a figure that can stand with your pet’s familiar posture
PHASE 04
Sculpting the Form
We wrap the core in base wool, sculpting the muscles and body shape. This stage defines the silhouette, capturing the weight and physical presence of your companion
PHASE 05
Painting with Wool
This is where the magic happens. We blend dozens of wool colors to match your pet’s fur perfectly, layering it strand by strand for a lifelike texture you have to touch to believe.
PHASE 06
The Spark of Life
The eyes are the window to the soul. We meticulously craft the eyes, eyelids, and nose to recreate that loving gaze you know so well. This is the moment they start looking back at you.
PHASE 07
Grooming & Trimming
Just like a real spa day, we trim and groom the wool fur to match your pet’s specific hair length and style, ensuring every tuft is in the right place.
PHASE 08
Welcome Home
After a final quality inspection and your approval, your eternal friend is carefully packaged. They are now ready to come home, to be held and loved once again.
Why Our Needle Felting Process Matters
unlike mass-produced toys, SoulNest uses the traditional art of needle felting. This slow, meticulous craft allows us to match the unique fur texture and expression of your pet perfectly. Every poke of the needle is a labor of love, ensuring your custom pet replica is a true masterpiece.
Why Our Custom Pet Replica Process Takes Time
You might wonder why our custom pet replica process takes several weeks. The answer lies in the details. Unlike mass-produced toys or 3D-printed figures, every SoulNest creation is a labor of love. We believe that a true memorial cannot be rushed.
From analyzing your initial photos to the final needle felting touches, our artists spend countless hours sculpting, shaping, and refining. We don’t just copy a photo; we interpret the personality, the posture, and the soul of your pet.
Whether you are ordering a dog memorial or a cat tribute, our goal remains the same: to create a lifelike custom pet replica that feels like a reunion. Thank you for trusting us with your memories
"Handcrafting eternal memories, one poke at a time."
