I will be doing 2 in-person shows this Fall in Massachusetts. I will be at The Paradise City Arts Festival in Northampton MA October 9 – 11. And then I am showing at the Paradise show in Marlboro, MA, November 19 -21. All the info about the shows is HERE. I’d love to meet you if you can make it. These will be the first shows in almost 2 years and I am excited!
If you decide to come to the show, here is a link to get discounted tickets.
Here is a photo from the last show I did- November 2019!
I’d started this fellow before my show and finally got him done on the weekend. Then I forgot to take his photos. Yes, it has been a bit chaotic around here.
I love these classical tattoos. They always look good.
We have some twins here!
This was the last piece that I finished before the show and I never had time until now to post his pics.
He found a new home this weekend so he won’t be in my shop.
He got one of the skull buttons because of course he did!
Are you thinking, I don’t see a boar hunt? Well here is the rest-
There is a lot of green with his tattoos and clothes so he needed russet-red hair to balance out.
I was trying to imagine what a dog would bring on a hike if they could do it for themselves. A cashmere sweater, handsome woolen vest, and a solid walking stick is a good start.
And a roomy backpack of course. Here is what is inside-
A notebook, a water bottle, a ball, a snack (bone). Plus some money, just in case of emergency, and a handkerchief.
The gangs all here!
I am furiously trying to get ready for Paradise City in Marlborough, MA this weekend. I have one more dog in the works but I made him some accessories out of Model Magic and I had to wait for them to dry. It will be a few more days before I get pics. So, here are some new owls-
I made this pup in March 2019 but have never been quite satisfied with her. Sometimes it takes me a while to figure out what was bothering me.
Her jacket didn’t fit right so I made her a soft cashmere sweater. I never liked the hat so that’s gone. And I added a shawl.
Also, I’ve changed her eyes. Much better now!
I still love the doggie dress.
A curly-haired poodle girl, in a fancy winter sweater and scarf- it’s getting cold around here!
She has a little short tail. And here is a close-up of the white wool boucle fabric-
All her stuff. I’m not sure if you can tell from the photo; her backpack is dark red.
This fine fellow was lots of fun to make.
Here he is with all his things-
He’s got a tie so he will look professional and a vest to keep warm during the investigations. Then there is a corduroy jacket with pockets to store all his detecting tools.
He has a magnifying glass, a notebook and pencil to write down clues, a map to get around the city, and a handkerchief to wipe his brow when he has to think really hard.
Here is a close-up of his vest and tie.
I finally have something finished! What we’ve got here is a shaggy-haired dog in his gardening togs.
He is an expert gardener with years of dirty-paw experience. These fall days are getting chilly so he has his cashmere hat-
And fair isle sweater vest.
His garden bag holds some of his tools and some of his harvest.
