Luna and Lyka

Beautiful white labs Luna and Lyka are my latest fiber art subjects.  The pair are owned by Kathy the best friend of my sister Evelyn.  Sometime ago my sis had asked me to craft this quilt for Kathy who has really been a great friend to Evelyn over the years.  Because I've been so busy doing other planned pieces for gallery shows and challenges, I had put Luna and Lyka on the back burner.  Well, I finally bite  the bullet and got her request made; and boy I'm really pleased with the results.  Check it out shot of the full quilt which is 18"h x 22 w" and a close up shot of the stitching on the dog's faces.





I think I maybe onto something with animal portraits.  People love their pets, and I love painting animals.  I have two ideas for future fiber art pieces, one for a peacock and the other of a gorilla photo that I took during a recent trip to the San Diego zoo.  Stay tuned!  Still living creatively, Santeena

Something to think about....
