Pet Portraits

It seems that as a civilization we are becoming more and more enamoured with our pets. Visit any department store and you can often find a whole section dedicated to every whim of our furry and feathered friends.

So, when we heard about a needlework artisan offering to stitch portraits of pets, we thought it was a great way of using our artform for both contemporary and commercial purposes.
