Dog WIP on my blog.
Language is German but I have take few pictures so you can see, how I *do* a dog It is my first really realistic puppy (a Basset Hound). The head is ready and I am working on the body and paws now... It is a copy of my real old dog Immaxim. I love her...
Absolutely adorable! You've done a wonderful job on this puppy - amazing! Thank you for sharing! :hug: :clap: :clap: :clap:
Oh he is adorable, can't wait to see him finished!

I really enjoyed seeing your blog. :)
As a collector I found it very interesting. Even though I can't read the language I was fascinated with your technique. The pictures are fantastic!!!
Thanks for sharing.
I love you work.
He's totally adorable :hug: I too had a Basset Hound whom I loved with all my heart, they are a wonderful breed of dog :hug: I shall soooo look forward to seeing your puppy when he's finished :hug:

thank you very much :hug:
Sandra I have two Basset HOunds ( Immaxim 12 years old and Tristan 8 Years old) and a Bloodhound girl 9 Month old, there are so funny dogs. The character of the Bloodhound is the same as from my Basset Hounds... she have only longer legs :crackup:
It was hard to do the right pattern, because the Basset Hounds have very short legs. But I would like, that she can lay down, give paw, sitting... like a real dog. So I must sew two dogs, one from fabric and one from fur.
The eyes are black glas eyes, with polymerclay background ( sculpted on the glas eye) and painted, I have done leather and fur lids . Looks very realistic. At time Iám working on the paws, with all toes.. I will stuff her with few hairs from Immaxim, so she looks like my immaxim as a puppy and smell a little bit like Immaxim. My lovely old dog is ill and I don´t know how long she will living....
hugs

2 Basset Hounds and a Blood Hound, I've turned green with envy Manuela:hug:
Sadly we had to have our's, his name was Linford, put to sleep just over 4 years ago, but for the 11 years that we had him he brought a great deal of joy to our lives. :hug: Those 3 dogs of yours must keep you very busy, they are funny dogs but wonderful at the same time:hug:
