Can I Send My Pet’s Fur or Collar for a Felted Portrait?
WoolFuriend’s current FAQ says the studio can incorporate a pet’s real fur, hair, or small personal items while crafting a portrait. It also says an actual collar or clothing may be added if the item’s size permits. The FAQ asks customers not to send real ashes.
There are limits to what the page explains: it does not define which items fit each portrait style, give dimensions for acceptable items, or explain return shipping. Check the details with WoolFuriend before mailing anything so you know whether the item is suitable and where to send it.
What to confirm before mailing an item
Describe the item and the portrait style
Tell the studio whether you have loose fur, a collar, clothing, or another small keepsake, and whether you are considering the full-body felted pet sculpture or the 3D felted pet framed portrait. The FAQ makes item inclusion conditional on size; it does not promise that every item will work with every format.
Ask for current mailing instructions
The FAQ says items can be mailed to WoolFuriend Studio, but the page does not provide packaging, labeling, timing, or return instructions. Contact the studio before sending anything and ask for the current address and instructions. Do not mail ashes; WoolFuriend’s FAQ specifically says not to send them.
Send photo references as well
A keepsake does not replace photos of your pet. Start with 3–5 clear reference photos, as described in the Pet Photo Guide. If a collar or marking matters, make sure it is visible in the references or describe the detail in your inquiry. Additional photos may be requested if a detail needs clarification.
Confirm the order details before paying
Ask whether the item can be used, whether it needs to arrive before work begins, and whether the selected product or quote includes any added charge. The site does not state a separate fee or return arrangement for customer-supplied keepsakes, so confirm those terms directly. WoolFuriend’s confirmed payment process is a 50% deposit to begin, with the remaining balance due after you approve the preview.
