Hi! I’m Kristin
I have been professionally creating amazing pets based on your photo for many years. These are realistic miniature puppies, cats, hares, birds. Many people say that miniature is a special kind of jewelry art and I agree with this.
When I was little, I loved to draw nature and sew doll’s clothes. My first dolls were big. Later there were barbie dolls. And I started creating clothes collections for barbie with my own hands. I sewed a lot without a sewing machine, using only a sewing thread and a needle, a scissors and fabric. My grandmother gave me a crochet hook and I learned how to crochet. I thought that my dolls must have small pets. I started knitting small bears, hares and dogs for dolls. I couldn’t stop and kept drawing sketches of animals and knit.
One day my friends saw my work and ordered me a dog and a hare for their daughters’ dolls.
I was so glad about it. My friends said that my work is very good and could I try to draw their dog? It was a pearl-colored Pomeranian puppy. I gladly agreed, because I really loved my hobby. Of course, everyone really liked my work.
So I continued my journey in creating small copies of pets based on photos of their customers. Over time, I have developed my technology that allows to create a miniature toy about 1 inch in size as realistic as possible using a very small knitting hook. A pet can stand, sit, lie down, turn its head, give a paw, change the position of its tail. In tinting with color, I use natural oil paints.
I plan to open a small school to teach as many people as possible this art, to create miniature pets based on photos.
My pets are often ordered not only for dollhouses, but also as a gift to someone’s mother, sister, wife, aunt, friend. Sometimes people ask me to create a pet based on a photo, so that it can be as a talisman for them bringing luck and success. It will look great on a shelf, on a table or in a car. When you don’t know what to present a person who’s got nearly everything, I’m always ready to create something special for this case. And when a person opens a small box with a miniature pet, he (she) feels great delight and surprise, and I get a lot of kind words and thanks.
