Artistic Tangents
Ramblings of a creative novice

Going to the Dogs
Here is my latest creation - a birthday gift for my brother. Can you see where I got my inspiration? Tank is our basset hound and my art room buddy. He hangs out in his bed while I putter around acting creative.
My brother loves dogs - quite possibly more than he loves people - and as he is not one to open up about his personal life (only on rare occasions) we have a relationship that seems to be based around our dogs. I know more about the comings and goings of his dog Bufford than I know about my brother. Our dogs have voices. Our dogs have opinions and attitudes. Our dogs are part of the family.
So in honor of our dogs I decided to make a mini one for my brother. Now mind you I started this back in December - the day after Christmas. Judy Wise was kicking out little Sculpey figures every day back in December, but this little guy took me until April to finish. I actually finished the body rather quickly - within a week. But then it sat on my desk daring me to mess it up by actually painting it. As my brother's birthday came and went I mustered the courage to break out the paint & bite the bullet. It worked out o.k. and it was only a couple weeks late to my brother. As he even said - better to be late because then he wouldn't have to feel so guilty about never getting my gifts to me on time - that is when he actually remembers. OK, I've got to ease up on my poor brother - he was actually the first one this year to call me on my birthday. Kudos to you, Dru.
OK - off to do some more creatin'. When I find the bloody camera cord I'll be able to download and post the gift I made for my mom for Mother's Day. Rather pleased with it
