Well, look at this puppy who is just so excited to be in the world! I made this little fellow for my sister’s 60th birthday. She occasionally gets to pup sit for her daughter’s dogs and I thought she might like a Dachshund pup of her own! I had a lot of fun making this little guy. He has a wire armature, so he’s completely posable. It was a challenge finding enough photos to work from for a complete three dimensional model. I hope I got him mostly right. It was also bit of an adventure getting the supplies of wool to make him. I placed an order with a great company https://feltingsupplies.livingfelt.com/ and waited anxiously for the wool to arrive. It normally only takes a few days. But this time tracking showed the parcel unmoving more than a week later. I contacted the post office, but still the parcel stayed in limbo. Living Felt were great and sent a repeat order straight away. In the end it took close to 3 weeks to get my wool, and then a day later the original parcel arrived! A post office employee informed me that some places have huge backlogs of mail.
Pup meets the merfolk
My new made pup had to meet my other characters, and like dogs everywhere - stole every heart!
He even deposed Sealia from her throne - something I never expected to see! Quite the cheeky chap! Animals just twist us around their little paws….
Who could resist that little face?!
The little dachshund is now living in England with his new family. Happy Birthday to my little Sis - I sure hope this guy brings a smile to your face!
