Dogs and Cats With Personality
We just loved the dogs and cats that came with the trunk show. Each one has its own personality. The black cat is either inspecting her Christmas present or she is the Christmas present. It would be fun to do the black figures on the box in velvet like a burnout out paper.
Of course, the golden retriever has such a happy face. He looks like he is ready to join in all the fun. He may be a wanderer since he is wearing bells.
The black dog seems more solemn and perhaps a little older. And I love the black lab in the old-fashioned beach chair. We all know that the pets get the best seats.
I often think it is smarter to do a canvas of a pet that exudes its personality instead of trying to make one look exactly like your pet. It's hard to capture the details in needlepoint.
