So, I have had the chance to do some really unusual things in the last few months, how exciting! I have discovered a new medium, quite by accident. A cherished client wanted something unusual for a friend whose beloved dog, Potion, had passed away, unexpectedly at the too young age of seven. I know nothing of agility titles but Potion had a string of them. We wanted to commemorate him in a special way. The inspiration for making a pillow was born. We started with the titles and wanted to do scenes that would reflect these. We chose these 2 photos.

The friend loves bright colors so we found some beautiful fabric for the back which had a wave design.

I figured unprimed canvas would act like fabric, right? My husband thought I was crazy because unprimed canvas is not smooth and does not accept paint well. I would not be deterred and found a way to make it work, you know me! This was the preview for her approval.

The finished product turned out better than I could ever have hoped for!! If you’re looking for a unique gift, maybe we can find another exciting project to work on!
