Pretty In Pink  | Dog Day Tuesdays!

Hi there! Today for Dog Day Tuesdays I have Pretty In Pink - Maltese. I wanted Pretty In Pink to be well, pretty but not so perfect because we all know dogs are always up to something.  So the more I worked on it the more the story evolved, I just love this part of the creative process. So here we have a not so innocent Pretty In Pink little pooch – bad girl!

This design is a continuation of my theme on dogs in their chairs. The idea behind this is how much dogs really become a part of your life, your environment, your home. Dogs become our families and to some the only family. I began to think about their favorite spot in the home a chair or couch and how really, your dog is an extension of you and your home. You know they shed and yet you let them take that chair because you love them because they love you, because it's their home too.  


Home is where the dog is.

    Ivy, love the vignette and the grit you've added to it. It offsets the preciousness of the scene beautifully. I also totally agree with Kim about the non-faded wallpaper touch. Brilliant. It makes the story. You rock.

    I'm going to have to remember to visit on Tuesdays to see the latest doggy art. Love pretty in pink, but love the dashound from last Tuesday even more. Had such a pup growing up.

    I think my favorite part of this is the last thing you say: home is where the dog is. We have a dog, and she gives us a wonderful greeting each time we come home.
