But I made up for the absence - I got four - FOUR - new shells up! That's the first time I did that. I tried!
Here's what i got...
Border Collies! I like how different they are... sorta like one younger rambunctious dog that doesn't realize how crazy he is. And an older "brother" that's rolling his eyes at the teenager.
Siberian Husky! I love that blue eye. They really are beautiful dogs. The expression on his face is interesting. I think he looks worried about something. Someone else suggested guilty. Dunno... what i know is that I wasn't trying to get that expression when I was painting. But I always love it when the dogs turn out to have some emotion. He's got his own personality, i didn't assign him any, he just came out that way :D
Pit Bull! or.... AmerStaff! or... Staffordshire Bull Terrier! I dunno, he somehow looks like all three to me. What I do know is that he's a gentle boy that has never intended to hurt anyone. He just plays rough cause he can't tell his own strength, that's all.
Shih Tzu! In full coat, as they appear in the show ring - bobble topknot and all. I don't think he looks too happy about that bow. What a great colour... I wish I could get that color for MY hair...
To be honest I actually painted five shells.... I made a Saluki that's reserved right now. Buuuuuut... I don't like how he came out so I'm gonna try to fix him or perhaps try to make another Saluki... so no pictures of him yet.
All shells are available for sale in my shop. Links to the left :)
And look, I've already been featured in a treasury! Thank you Leafpeople!
Visit the treasury now! Its up until 7:55 am on Sunday, March 30. Look while its there!
In OTHER news - this weekend we were at a dog show and we got lucky! My Perry won "Winners Dog", he was chosen the best out of five males. We won a 3 point major. And this was only our second time showing!
Congratulations Perry!

Lovely new shells! And congrats, Perry - you're looking in fine form ☺
Dogs, art and tea - my three favorite things!!!
I like the collies best! And congrats to your little cutie : )
I saw these on flickr (it does work!!) great work
thanks guys! Glad you like them!
I guess Flickr is as useful as I thought! ;)
Nice work!
I love the little three legged dog shell. I used to have a three legged cat named Lily, so I guess I'm a fan of all things three legged. (Get your mind out of the gutter if you were thinking I meant men!)
Go here to see my newest pet, Hazel:

Beautiful work! I enjoyed reading your blog!
How fun! I've never been to a dog show, but I would love to go if I had the chance. Congratulations!
I love the collies. I had one as a kid so I am sentimental to them.
Congrats to Perry!! How exciting to get that first major!
