Hello! A warm welcome to BLACS art, where miniature wool dogs are created.  I’m Nikoru Nicole, you can call me Nicole.  I’m a wool/fiber artist and I specialist in needle felted miniature dogs.  I am based in Singapore.
I love handicraft and needle felting is one of the craft that I love to do and it soon turned from a sometime hobby into a full blown passions.  As I want to bring something that reminds me of my dogs at work or wherever I am travelling, then I started of with creating felted by using my dogs as a model into miniature, this is my perfect option that I can always remember them.  Absolutely, they have brought me to the art of making miniatures for display and memorial pieces, that is how BLACS art was born and it’s not surprising that all my works have 4-legged paws.  You could say it’s taken over half of my life!   
I always spend my hours to study all the dog photos provided by customer. There is nothing about every of them that I don’t absorb during the making process and I become very familiar with them. I try to capture that character in the felted version.  For at least a few days, the dog that I am working on has becomes very much a part of my life! Each miniature of dogs or pets are custom-made to represent your special animal, with their unique face and pose.
The best I could, I try to recreate a miniature replica of your dog.  It may be a new dog in your life, an older dog you have loved for many years, or a beloved dog that has passed away.  My sculptures celebrate the life of pets and the wonderful relationship and companionship they offer us.  These memorials are very special to me, as they are for my customers.
It may take up more to 20 hours, creating a needle felting dogs or others adorable pets. A labor of love is indeed. And one of the best parts of my job is meeting fellow dog lovers/pet lovers from all over the world and brings my art craft to all over the world. ♥
If you’re interested in engaging me to sculpture your lovely furry kids, please email me contact@blacsart.com or blacsarts@gmail.com
All my creations here are purely freehand, 100% handmade custom made with love and passion, thus each and every one of them are very unique. Its take a lot of patience and time consuming and hours of “Needling” to create the arts and detailed sculpture but end of the day, the result come out are very importantly to me. Most importantly are all the adorable fur-kids; their paw-rents who engaged me making them happy and satisfied.

Yours sincerely,
Nikoru Nicole

Nicole is extremely dedicated to her craft and while I cancelled before confirming my order, I could feel she was very... sincere and she does her best in ensuring that you did not order on impulse (as I did) and have unrealistic expectations. She values customer's satsifaction above all else and I would really like to commend her on that. Thanks for the amazing service, Nicole.read more

Thanks for your efforts and great work, Nicole. Really appreciate it. The mini-me Kiki came out looking exactly like my... beloved baby girl. When you first sent me photos of the completed work mini-her, I was moved to tears as if she had came back into my life again. The most precious gift I had received this year. Looking forward to your next art piece of my baby boy, lion. Thanks for your hard work once again.read more

Nicole got mini Bobby to be delivered just before Christmas and it was the best present I've received! Mini Bobby... looked so real when I sent photos of the sculpture to my friends they thought it was the real cat 😂 I'm not even kidding! She delivered it just in time for me to bring my mini baby overseas where I'll be away for 5 months! Her artwork is superb and totally exceeded my expectations. Bobby has a scar on his body and she made this "imperfection" so beautiful it's really one of a kind and cannot be replicated. Would definitely purchase again for my other cat when I return. I trust her skills and it's definitely very worth it. Thank you so much!!read more

I'm really really impressed when I received the mini whiskey! Even though it's delayed by a month but it's still worth... the wait! It looks exactly the same as my whiskey... It's so cute and every single details on whiskey can be seen on the mini sculpture. Nicole is very patient and talented! She even make a delivery to my hse at around 11pm. It's nicely packed in a handmade paper box and a customized message card. My hubby loves it too. He immediately grab his phone and get whiskey to pose with his mini... I'm so glad that I have made this decision to get Nicole to do up a mini sculpture on whiskey. He's our precious and we love it lots! Thanks Nicole for the hard work! Appreciate it.read more

I cannot thank you enough for your exquisite works of art, they are so very, very beautiful! Hours and days of hard... painstaking work by your clever fingers have produced exact replicas of these 2 beloved dogs. My beautiful Zeus (who was taken from me aged 2 and a half years old). He was my shadow and I loved him dearly. And my dear friend Travis (who was a rescue dog). Forever in our hearts. You were so meticulous in getting every single detail right, and so very very helpful. I am sure I will come back to you for mini-me's of my two living dogs, and I hope we will always be friends! xxxread more
