There are many ways to capture the essence of a furry friend.
Many pet parents love snapping pictures or even commissioning portraits paintings and drawings of their beloved animals.
Some, however, have opted for a uniquely crafted memento of their furry friends through needle felting.
Gurney, who has a background in graphic design, has seen the power of this connection firsthand.
In 2014, Gurney adopted a puppy named Drift, who inspired this creative venture.
The result is even more enchanting when the original subject poses next to his or her tiny fluffy version.
Gurney typically works based on photographs.
This allows her to depict current pets as well as those that have passed.
Regardless of the state of the pet, there’s something special about every single one of her creations.
Ultimately, Gurney hopes her creations spark the same comforting feelings pets bring into our lives.
My creations aim to capture the soul of each pet, sparking memories that bring both tears and smiles.
