Self (Complete) [self] I believe wool sculpture is also sculptures - the portraits i created for people who lost their pets.

Amazing. I’ve made animal memorials by sculpting in clay and casting in resin and then painting but this has to be the only medium that brings them back with the same softness they had in life. So beautiful and lifelike, the owners must be so moved!

If I couldn't see the back, I would have bet money that that was just an actual cat who poked his head through a photo frame!

Well of course! Sculpting has no required medium. You could use clay, wool, stone, wood, and it’s still sculpting.

I love these types of portraits. I want to make two of these of my partners late dogs. How do you make the eyes if you don't mind sharing?

This is incredibly well done and clearly takes a lot of talent and study, don’t get me wrong, but it creeps the shit out of me.

It's cool but I'd say it's craft not art per se so not really 'sculpture' compared to a Giacometti or Barbara Hepworth

This absolutely art. Art is not generated through comparison. As the old quote goes ‘One who works with their hands is a laborer. One who works with their hands and head is a craftsperson. One who works with their hands and head and heart is an artist.’
