I had to look twice … no they are not real but their still the cutest dogs Ive seen for ages …
Scottish designer Domenica More Gordon is living proof that you really don’t need to try all that hard when you are inspired. Domenica created her first miniature felt dogs as a mere hobby but, to her surprise, they slowly gained respect from thousands of devotees, finally ending up in some of the best galleries all over the world. It seems that no one can really resist her cute creations. The secret lies in a special technique, called dry felting, which is based on stabbing unspun wool with a felting needle until you shape the wool into the intended form. Of course, it takes a lot of love and patience to get the desired results. Domenica’s dogs live in a parallel world, straight out of her childhood memories, a world where innocence and tenderness still reign free. The dogs are in fact her attempt to revive this special feeling of attachment one has for their toys as a child which is a magical bond that gets stronger and stronger as time goes by. One cannot but simply admire her ability to project the universal need of being loved into those cute, wide eyed creatures. The final result is so charming that her little dogs could definitely break the heart of even the most cynical person out there.
