This is my first attempt at a puppy. She's based on one of those moving puppy toys I had as a child. I did not have ultra suede so I substituted for her ears and paw pads with dry brushed minky. It was my first time felting a face where I had to felt brow bones and the actual eye socket instead of depending on the mohair to keep it in. I had a little trouble waxing the nose because I do it by cutting off pieces of wax, kneading it, then placing it on the nose before hitting it with the blow dryer. It's not the best way, but I made do with what I had. I attempted to wax her paws too to give them the feel of real puppy paws but in the end, the wax was getting blown around everywhere and I had to redo the paw.
I've only been crafting for a year and a half now, so I'm hoping to improve because I have a long way to go to get that "awww" factor.
Thank you for taking a look and reading my wall of text.
Your puppy is really very cute!
