dapper doxie duds: ammo the wonderdog

So it all has to start somewhere. Inspiration, an idea that grows into a plan. In Ammo's case, the concept was pretty easy because Ammo's mom already found her inspiration, and turned it into her own idea that she asked me to make a reality, filling in the blanks with fabric and thread and whatever else might need to be used. Ammo, by the way, is part of an amazing family of performers, being a brother to several trick ponies that also make art! So naturally he would follow in their hoofsteps and naturally he would need a performance outfit.

Figuring out a few of the superdud details took some noodling, but both tiny chumley and I had fun throughout the entire process. So much so that one of us had a few regrets about parting ways with our final creation.




If you're in the area, check out Ammo's performance this weekend at the Keystone Dachshund Races!

Ammo says if you ever come to Pennsylvania he is in definite need of a sidekick! He's already outnumbered by all the ponies.
