Yarn Painting ~ Snuggle Pugs

Happy Wednesday everyone!

I am so excited to show you another yarn painting that I just finished.

I call it "Snuggle Pugs" made from my A67 pug painting.

I find these so fun and relaxing to make. I am completely addicted to the craft.

I documented the different stages as I was placing and gluing each strand of yarn for you to enjoy...







Ta da!
I have both signed prints and note cards of this image and all of my yarn paintings in my etsy shop for you to enjoy.
I also have a more detailed tutorial of how to create your own yarn painting if you would like to make one too.
Please let me know if you do. I would love to see!

Here are 2 sweet puggies modeling the Valentine's Day Red Sweaters!


Tweedles




We have lots of Sweater Vests already made and listed in our Etsy Shop for you to enjoy.

If you do not see the colors & sizes that you would like, please just choose the Custom Listing in the Size that you would like and let us now which colors to make the body/ bobbles / collar.

We would be happy to make custom sweater vest(s) for you.

Please use the sizing charts below to choose the correct size for your dog:

XS : 3-7 lbs (approx)

S : 13-18 lbs (approx)

M : 20-28 lbs (approx)

** Note: Please let me know if your dog is more in the 29-33 lb range. I am happy to make the medium sweater vest a little wider but the same length for no extra charge. :)

The forgiving design will stretch but will also stay put on your pup. Feel comfortable ordering within +/- 2 to 3 lbs of the size chart above.

Each one is handmade by me, so please order early to avoid any disappointment in holiday wishes. Depending upon how many orders are in the queue, turnaround time can be 2 - 3 weeks.

Please feel free to contact me anytime with any questions.

I will have 2 new wonderful collections to show you soon!
