Each Art-Official Pets© is created from approximately 90% recycled items. Materials may include— but are never limited to— plastic bottles, cardboard, wire, paper, bubble wrap, foam, wood, guitar strings, metal, discarded cords, eyeglass parts, clay and much more. Joyce makes each item individually, by hand, so no two are ever exactly alike.

Most of the pets are mutts and strays rather than pure breeds. A little of this and bit of that goes into the mix to make a pet with personality and character. These indoor pets require no walks, feeding, poop-scooping or vet bills. They are very quiet and are trained to “stay”.
