I am currently working on doing a soft sculpture of my best friend. Well, one of them. I have wanted to create a sculpture of "Bailey" for some time but always seem involved in another project that needs to be finished.

No more excuses! Bailey, a Cairn Terrier, is taking shape and should be finished in a few days. Then it's on to my other "best friend", Jesse. A Westie with an attitude.

I've been saving Bailey's fur when I brush him so this sculpture will actually have his fur incorporated with the wool. I will have him with me always!

He is a red brindle with a black mask so I have had to do some serious color mixing to get his coat as accurate as possible. Not possible to use all dog fur but I should be able to create a nice mixture so this sculpture will have special meaning to me.

I'm grateful the Westie is all white!
