A change of clothes...

I was not loving the dress for puppy... I mean, it was OK, but not blowing my mind...

So, a rethink was in order! The design was fine - was it the colour? Tried again in a black floral, and with a few tweaks to the length an the collar, I think we have a winner!

I also removed the whiskers, since a comment made to me that it made her look more like a cat. I was unsure, but I do like it better. 

She also needed some shoes, so rather than make some, I painted them on. Easy peasy!!

Her pants have a hole for the tail to fit, and was made using my new favourite method - a rectangle! Super easy!!

Now, she needs a collar, but I think the mini buckle and ribbon will do for now, and I can now move on to another idea - this one could be a bit slippery.....

Puppy's new duds...

Although I'm not sure I like the dress, at least she has something to wear! 

This is actually version 2.0. Not that the first dress failed, the collar just didn't sit right. It still doesn't, but it's better! Her pants have a slot in the back for the tail. I want to add some shoes and a bow, but that can happen later...

Puppy face mod...

Crisis over!! After many attempts at removing the black paint from the bear bodice, I FINALLY have a decent result! Phew.... No need to remake, thank goodness!!

I found the eyelashes I bought to try on the puppy face, and I think I like them! Not sure how they are supposed to be attached, but they come with glue, so maybe that is the way to go? I will live with it for a week and see how I feel...

Puppy progress...

Gosh it's cold!! Yeah, I know... It IS Winter, but still... brrrrrrrrrrr.......

I had most of the puppy pieces cut out a couple of weeks ago, but had to focus on the bears, but today I couldn't wait any longer. The ears were the only thing left to cut out, but the pattern was done. 

I decided to set in the arms this time, and add a wrist. Not sure if I like it, the wrist that is, not the arms..

Major fault, though, painting the pads and spots after was a PAIN! I was going to make them washed out, like his face, but put the paint on too heavy and managed to smudge one paw! Grrrr...

Haven't washed off the blue pen yet or decided on clothes, but at least the main part is done!

Final point of note - DO NOT USE BLACK PAINT NEAR WHITE SATIN!! I was trying to get the stand that was holding the bride bear and she fell over into the paint! PANIC!! Straight under the tap she went, fingers crossed it comes off! What a completely stupid thing to do!!

Oh well, she's only going on the front of a Limo, right??
