Yarn Painting - The Smiling Pug

Hi everyone!

Happy Wednesday!

I am so excited to show you my latest yarn painting inspired by my smiling pug painting - A75.

I think his little felt teethies are my favorite part!

Here are some shots I took while I was making him...







The background is almost done!

You can also see in this shot that I use Elmer's Gel Glue, sharp scissors and a plastic bone folder as my tools to make these wonderful yarn paintings.

I just love making them!





Ta da!

I have added my yarn paintings as note cards and signed prints in my etsy shop so that I can share them with everyone!

Please tune in tomorrow to find out who the winner is of Emmitt's final Grub Giveaway!

Exciting!

Oh, Melissa - these are great - I love the texture! The yarn really gives this guy a whole new dimension. Thanks for sharing through twitter! That seems to be the only way I remember to get onto anyone's blog anymore.
Have a great day!!
