More Sock Dogs

I finished up these two sock dogs Saturday at a craft show...

You can see more pictures at my blog.

Purple Scottie Sock Dog

Here is a sock dog I made from modifying a pattern I found in Martha Stewart's Encyclopedia of Sewing and Fabric Crafts.

This purple dog's square face makes it look a bit like a Scottie dog. (I'll have to make one like this from a black sock sometime)

You can see more sock dogs at my blog. :)

Hound & Squab by T&A Friendly

Hound & Squab, 2010 (20 x 28 x 12 inches)

This is my hound and squab taxidermy team. The hound's name is Raleigh but unfortunately, I never caught the squab's name. He may have been in the navy though. I'm just judging by the tattoo on his left wing.
I've been dreaming about this piece for so long and I finally had the time to complete it. It was greatly inspired by two things: 1. Was this hound & fowl statue I see almost on a daily basis sitting in the yard of a neighbor and 2. Is the film Fantastic Mr. Fox.

This is my neighbor's statue. I'm so tempted to offer them a price on it.

Custom Dog Nubbins

These are two custom dog Nubbins I made for my most loyal customer...

He sent me these two pictures of his dogs for me to work from...

Chenille pups & such

Hello all! Thank you for having me as a part of your community. I have been having a great time being inspired by the wonderful creations everyone posts ☺ Now I suppose it is finally my turn to post something.

With two small children, a husband, and a new puppy, I have been finding it hard to make sewing time. Therefore, it was just the perfect time to pull out the out-of-print Japanese craft book I treated myself to at Christmas time and become inspired. I have been playing around with the techniques and making creations all my own.

Oh! Did I forget to mention that these are made from pipe cleaners? ☺
Check out my blog for more photos!

Again, thanks for having me... I hope to post something with needle/thread soon!
