Dog Portrait: Bryn (chow/collie mix)

This was a gift to a teenage daughter on her birthday from her parents. Was fun to work on this dog because I know everyone! Looking at the photos today, if I could change anything it would be to add more hair around the head/neck area.


Left ear up, right ear down.

Several layers of dog hair carded in with dyed Suffolk wool to get the dual coat look and texture.




Funky tail curl over the back and darker shorter hair on back.



Tail and underside have longer fluffy hair.

This is Bryn in real life.

Dog Sculpture: Sally

This is a portrait of Sally who was commissioned by a mother for her daughter who owned Sally. I spent some of my growing up years with Sally's owner and her sister. It was an honor to sculpt Sally who passed away earlier this year.




The following photos are of Sally. She was half Australian Shepherd and half Sharpei.

It seems she almost always had a smile on her face.

She knew how to relax!

Sophie's Portrait




Here are a couple pictures of the real Sophie. She was the model for the felted dog in the previous post. Husband had me sculpt Sophie for wife's birthday. "She went nuts!" he said. Glad they liked it.
