Mazelle is a beautiful standard poodle we inherited this spring, she loves watching over her yard. I used an Ultrasuede sample that was made by Spoonflower.com from the picture of her hair. Although the proportion is not correct, I just had to use it.
I can just imagine Mazelle surveying her yard, Colleen. How was your experience of Spoonflower?

I like the shading on Mazelle's body, and her feeling of pride and ownership as she looks at the yard. The red flowers add a nice contrast!
ReplyDeleteA very lucky dog. Love the composition.
ReplyDeleteYou know that Colleen has fallen in love with her dog when she has a photo of her fur custom-printed onto Ultrasuede. Nicely done, Colleen!
ReplyDeleteSpoonflower was offering a free swatch on Ultrasuede so my idea formulated from there. They offer a great service and I had my sample within 10 days.
ReplyDeleteA pretty quilt for a pretty dog! Nicely done!
ReplyDeleteDelightful - your lovely Mazelle takes centre stage in your piece but obviously, also in your heart! Great fun - and it looks as if you thoroughly enjoyed doing this piece.
ReplyDeleteMazelle is dreaming of Vincent! Love it, Colleen!
ReplyDeleteA regal pose by a very lovely and beloved dog. You have really captured her in your yard surveying your beautiful pool.
ReplyDeleteHe is lovely. The ultrasuede was a good idea for his fur. What exactly is utrasuede. Is it a synthetic fabric? I've heard of it, but never seen it.
