Do have a look at Domenica More Gordon's amazingly characterful, utterly lifelike, highly covetable felt dogs. If you want to try your hand at making your own, you can buy a kit, or just admire the sketches with which she begins the creative process and watch this short clip to see the dogs and Domenica herself.
I kick myself now that I didn't take the opportunity to buy one when Domenica made some dogs for a sale of work in aid of Mindroom two years ago. Ah well, perhaps another time ...
I do love those!! Wish I could handle making one, but... :-( Things like this do take some skill & folks don't always realize just how much so - until they try it themselves.

I agree - much as I'd like to try making one, I don't have an artist's eyes and hands!
