Doggy Coat number 2

Here is Vader modelling his second coat.

This is made of cotton lined fleece.

I have used a recycled bed sheet and a fleece scarf.

Don't you think he look groovy? :o)

Warm Doggy

I have made my first attempt at making a jacket for my friends dog.

 Armed with only a measurment for the length of his back and the circumference of his chest I made this colourfully jazzy cotton lined fleece jacket.

The owner is happy with the outcome as am I. This is by no means a perfect jacket but hey it fits and he's warm so good result for 2 1/2 hours work :)

Hes quite an old guy.

Tin Dog mark 1

I have been thinking of making some tin 'creatures' for a while and I have just this week made my first tin dog using tins from the secondhand store and some metal odds and ends I had in my 'collection'

I used a 'Jodekoek' tin for the bodu and an old tea tin for the head. His tail is a candle snuffer and his ears and legs are offcuts from coffee machines ( I used to work in the coffee machine factory)

I have quite a few more tins all in nice shapes or with nice Dutch writing or pictures on them and so I am intending to makes a few friends for the dog.
