Puppy dog tails

This Mo image just captured everything what little boys are.  Her images all tell a story and it can be whatever you like. This reminds me so much of my boys when they were little.


I really had a hard time taking this photo. I really wanted to pick up the stripes in his overalls. I took some shots inside and some outside. I think this is an inside shot.

"Justin's Ice Cream"  was colored with Prisma pencils and Gamsol except for the skin which is colored with Copics. I used my liquid pearls for the ice cream. The sentiment is from Stampendous, which I was able to manipulate into a wave line. I mounted the image onto blue card stock and stitched it. I added the ribbon, then mounted everything on this pretty DP from Cosmo Cricket.

Love the pinstripes. I had thought of doing that once, but wasn't sure how to go about it. This turned out great. Every time I see your work I think, I need to take my pencils out. One of these days...
