dapper doxie duds : la mariposa rosa










i may be wearing
pink butterfly fairy duds,
but i can still chase you.

- Baxter, 3.3 years old, slightly bending the rules of haiku while responding to the squirrels laughing in his backyard.






Ever the intrigued hunter and multitasker, tiny chumley managed to snitch snippets of time to check out the squirrel scene between poses for my latest dapper doxie dud creation. This time, a pink and golden yellow damask harness to round out an order from precious annie, with removable and bendable beaded butterfly wings stitched with lace and iridescent threads. I can't wait to hear about annie's adventures as she flits about the flower garden in her new wings!




update 4/27/2010: Just wanted to post a pic of the "before", a picture of the suggested primary elements for this dud n wing combination that I temporarily posted on the sidebar for Annie's mom to consider a few weeks before the duds were completed.

You can tell your little boyfriend has so much personality - whether he's in butterfly wings or just his new collar. So cute. And the detail on the wings is gorgeous!

Não sei como Baxter deixa fazer isso... a Pink não deixaria não! Arrancaria a tal asa de mariposa de uma vez só.

Sorry, 3 doxies and Ginger- it is SO obvious that Baxter has a thing going for Annie. I think he may be pining away to nothing because of his love..........
