A Tribute to a Faithful Friend...

Gus was a commissioned piece I did for a former co-worker... If you are interested in commissioning your own special portrait of your favorite furry friend, please contact me.

Hope you're having a lovely week...

my new obsession and an old one...

I showed you my needle felted bunnies a few days ago - my first needle felting project. After making them, I knew I wanted to try to make a miniature schnauzer (since I have a real one). Here's my attempt:

 I made him last night while I was having a Monk marathon. (You'll thank me later).

 

 Forgive the excessive number of photos.... I have a soft spot for cute doggies.

 Harvey didn't seem to share my enthusiasm.

Guess who LOVES posing for photos....

Can't you see how excited he is???

He got a little bit interested when he thought it might be a new chew toy...

...but it wasn't, so,

"YAWN!"

"ARE WE DONE YET?"

If you are interested in commissioning a special little felted "portrait"

of your pet or another favorite little critter, please e-mail me!

I am linking this post up to "You Capture" over at I Should Be Folding Laundry. The challenge this week is "animals," so I guess my little felted guy AND the Hairy One are appropriate!

You Capture is a weekly photo challenge/linky. Check it out!

Hope you're having a lovely week!
