I usually just admire the cuteness, but that cool little lookalike reminded me of this site:

Holy moses.. I thought the mini me was REAL. I couldn't figure out what Meg was talking about until the end and I had an epiphany. LOL.

Adorable.

I knit and crochet already, now I have to take up needle felting too. Dang it.

(Pssst, needle felting is when you take unspun animal fiber, usually wool, and basically poke and prod it with needles to make it turn into felt. You can make some darn awesome stuff. The other kind of felting is what happens when you stick a sweater in the washer and dryer--shrinking the wool down to make felt. It's actually not felting, technically.)

Holy cow, the needle felting lady is going to be able to quit her day job. If she has one. With skilz like that, why would she?

hey-h

They're sold out! How do you sell out of a hand made craft?

Cute Overload strikes again!

DON'T DESPAIR!
check out her Etsy store...AmeliaMakesArt.....there are a bunch of listings for her dogs....and kitties too ...so she will never be SOLD OUT!

Cyra
 |  Sep 03, 2007 at 09:24 AM

went to her Etsy store....
http://www.ameliamakesart.etsy.com

All her examples are soooo cute!
I am ordering a mini me of my big fat cat.....hope she has enough wool! At least enough left over to also make my funny little pug! Can't wait to see how she does his face!!

"can she handle the CUTE OVERLOAD ONSLAUGHT SHE IS ABOUT TO RECEIVE!?"

ROFLMBO!!!!!!!

Aww man, that was the best part of the post!

For those who got the Sold Out message, each creation is a one of a kind, custom made for the people who ordered them, so she is not actually sold out, that one particular unique individual was sold to the person who ordered it.
You too can order one for your pet, and once you recieve it, the model of your pet will be sold out too.

These are very cute, and she does an amazing job getting the portrait accurate.

My husband would never let me get my cats portraits done at $125 a pop, we spend enough on them at the vet.....

This is pure artwork! As an artist myself I could only dream of executing stuff like this. I just looked at her etsy shop and she has amazing paintings as well. Holy crap, this girl is amazing. I am so ordering one of my cat.

 |  Sep 03, 2007 at 04:45 PM

part of me thinks this is awesome; most of me finds this a little too close to taxidermy and is totally CREEPED OUT.

Rebecca
 |  Sep 03, 2007 at 05:42 PM

Hey, she is NOT sold out.

Click on her Etsy store and see all her listings!!! Fuzzy wuzzy eye candy!!!

Her dogs are adorable, but I don't care for her cats. Still, awesome, awesome, awesome craftster! What a neat idea!

amanda
 |  Sep 04, 2007 at 03:04 AM

The dogs are adorable, The art is kinda spooky, but cool!!I have a friend who shares custody of her dog with her ex, and this seems like the perfect thing for her!

*******
 |  Sep 04, 2007 at 06:52 AM

shes not sold out.
just 16 weeks waiting period since she got so many orders.
she has a contact link on her ETSY page.
i think its great for all of the ETSY artists.
i wanted to order one. but they are 125 dollars.
a little too much for me right this minute.

liz
 |  Sep 04, 2007 at 10:26 AM
