"Buddy"

[mrsmike9]

I finally got "Buddy" done. I'm shipping him to Colorado (I'm in Indiana.) Someone here in town told him about me. Their beloved dog, Buddy, died last September. A yellow lab! The button colors were SO HARD to come up with. He has sunshine on one side of his face and the other in shadow. I have around 24 hours just in the beads! Beat myself up to get this one done, but I'm happy with it.

This is I think you’re Best👍. The mouth, teeth 🦷, the eyes 👀, nose 👃, tongue 👅, are fantastic 😊. And the look is so real 👍. The lips, 🥰. Great Job 👍 🐾🐾🐾🐾 Ken

Thanks! His canine teeth are actually shells!

[Kenu in reply to mrsmike9]

You are welcome 🙏 I just keep looking at it, the depth, it looks 3-d. Man it’s great 👍

For some reason some of the buttons in the photo look pinkish. They're actually tan and taupe...

There are things hidden it in. 3 hearts, 3 dogs, 1 rabbit, 5 bones, 1 baseball bat, 1 paw print, 1 star, and the words (separately) "love", "that", "dog".

I'm getting skinnier, which is good (up to a point). I just drink water all day so I don't "explode" anymore and eat carefully. Thanks for asking.

As always, when I see your incredible creations, I am blown away by your talent! I have a yellow lab and I can say that you captured Buddy perfectly!!

[mrsmike9 in reply to elaineinqueens]

Thank you so much! The colors in the photo are rather washed out. It's much better in person.

WOW!! I thought I had seen this one but I was wrong. LOVE IT! I know the person who you did this for must have been overjoyed with it!

I delivered it yesterday. Luckily for me he came to Fort Wayne (Indiana) from Colorado so I could deliver it instead of shipping it! He loved it and when he gets home is going to send me a photo of his other dog to be done!
