Pelin Gur, from London, lavishes an entire week of work to recreate each dead pet in intricate detail using only photos sent to her from the heartbroken families. The 34-year-old previously spent nine years working as a project coordinator at a mechanical engineering plant in the Middle East but always dreamed of becoming a felt artist. When her husband Alaaddin Gur, 36, set up his own graphic design business in London last year, Pelin decided it was time to unleash her creativity. Instead of applying for a new engineering job, Pelin launched her online store Jeje Felting that specialises in intricate needle-felted figures of people???s pets. The adorable sculptures take a week to complete as Pelin likes to go over every detail of her reference photos to make sure she perfectly captures the character and 'story' behind each beloved pup. Pursuing her dreams has been emotionally rewarding for Pelin particularly as many of her customers are bereaved dog owners who take great comfort from her canine creations.

I can make felt people and jewellery but the most popular requests I get are for peoples pets.

Usually theyre made as dog memorials for people whose pets have died. Its really sad but its nice to make them something to remember their love for their dog.

After customers receive their felt sculptures, their reactions are priceless. Theres so much love in my job.
