A Needle Felted Selfie

 Mom has had Airedales for over 25 years and our house is loaded with Airedale stuffs.  She constantly looks for English Cocker Spaniel art.  She found an artist who does needle felting on Etsy that she thinks does great work.   

She had to send them a photo of me that she liked for the artist to work with.   She loves the smile in my profile picture and let the artist know that  my smirky Cocker smile was important to her.   Did she capture it?

My framed Duke portrait has a place in the slant back hutch but I'm still surrounded by way too many Airedales!
Happy Sunday!

Love ya lots♥
Duke

  1. Needle-felting is an interesting art form (new to us) and a wonderful choice, especially for art for pets. It is a good likeness of you, Master Duke with your wide-eyed "look at happy me" expression. I think we really like the three-dimensional effect and that you are coming out of the frame ... one could almost go right up and pet you!

    We are sure as time progresses you'll get more cocker art :)

  9. Lulu: "Duke! That felted version of you is so handsome! Not as handsome as the real thing, of course, but close!"

  14. That is amazing and what a great idea to have you made that way. You may be surrounded by the others but you are bigger and stand out against that Airedale crowd.
