This is my Da's partner, Alvin, and he wants a dog clock of himself to give to his wife (who will love it?).
Dog Clock Conviction
Hi Everyone,
I just wanted to say that I misnamed a few of the dogs, and I have amended those errors. When I’m working on a dog, I am sitting there, thinking of how to depict him or her, doing the artwork in stages as I think of important elements, and implementing them. When I posted them, I guess I just named them myself as I was working, trying to get the essence of their eyes, their noses and their silky/wiry manes. Their name is so secondary to their beauty, the tremendous way they are loved, and their obvious personality.
I just wanted me mam and da to see the fruits of their daughter’s labor, however humble.
AND, I wanted to thank Susan at the Funky Mutt who has done so much to help these clocks get into the hands of people who truly appreciate them. It gives me so much satisfaction to delight people with that which I make from my own hand with pleasure.
Thanks, Susan.
If you want to buy a clock of your own dog or of another’s (actually, of any animal you would like) you can buy them at The Funky Mutt in Asheville by emailing
susan@funkymutt.com
All you have to do is email her and send her some pictures of the beloved, and a brief description of what kind of clock you would like, ie, colors, poses, etc. and she will notify me. I will make it and she will ship it. Voila! They are $89, and well worth it. Seriously, no one will ever labor over your beauty like Susan and I will. Promise. Supporting local shops and artists--nothing could be better.
Thanks for looking. Will post more soon.
