Vacation time is over, time to get back to work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today I would like to share with you my latest project, which is very close to somebody\u2019s heart. This is a portrait of his beloved dog, that I have made from fabric and wool.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

The project contains 120 elements, that I cut, glued, and quilted. It was not an easy task, because I wanted to show all the details of the fur coat, eyes and mouth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0I traced all the elements on double-sided fusible web.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

During the drawing, I introduced additional modifications to the project.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Then I started cutting out the individual elements. Here, too, I made small changes to make my project look even better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately, I had to bring some order to the cutouts. Good thing I have so many bowls.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

To create the portrait, I chose my favorite Northcott fabrics from the Stonehenge collection. They have beautiful colors and textures, perfect for imitating fur.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

I started with the area around the eyes, which is unique characteristic of a dog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The first phase of the dog is over.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Then I made the eye from worsted wool, which gives it depth and brilliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Finally, I had to choose the right background for the animal. I found in my closet the perfect fabric dyed by me, which has a unique pattern and colors. I think it fits the dog perfectly and emphasizes its beauty.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Now all I have to do is quilt the whole picture, which is the most enjoyable part of the job for me. I hope you like my project and that it will inspire you to create portraits of your own pets.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
