Sapphireblue.com Presents: Adventures in Dangerous Art (Dog-By-Numbers: A Siberian Husky Pattern)

... all apologies to Andy Warhol ...

Siberian huskies in a rainbow of fruit flavors!

I did this pattern 2 or 3 weeks ago, just noodling around in Photoshop, trying to get the stained-glass circuits in my brain flowing. I'm not going to build it, though. I may love animals, but I do not, as a rule, love decorative animal-themed tchotchke. There's a line there you can't cross, when you have as many pets as I do.

If you would like to build it, however, you're welcome to. Here's a cutlines-only, larger version. Two rules: 1) Don't sell it. If you're tempted, keep in mind that I have both the original photo this pattern was based on, and the original dog, and that right there is a recipe for an embarrassing situation for you. 2) Please send me a photo! I'll post it here, or not, whichever you like.

Hey, and, you glassers, is it cuttable? I really did my best with the whole area around the left eye, which is now at the point where good proportions are being sacrificed for larger/more-cuttable pieces, and I'm afraid to take it any further. If you see major issues with the pattern, leave a comment here and I'll revise accordingly.

Hi Michelle,

So glad to see you back online! I check your site every once in a while and was pleased to see some recent updates. I think you are amazing!

My husband and I got our bathroom remodeled in 2003 so if you ever want to ask us questions about how it went I'd love to help. If it's all right I would love to ask you about your kitchen remodel. That is a project we are hoping to do in a year or two, but other projects need to be done first.

Johannah, thanks for the kind words! If there are any questions you'd like to ask about the agony and the ecstasy of kitchen remodeling, then by all means send me an email. Hey, you're already pre-authorized by my spam filter (I think you accidentally received a spam filter challenge today, sorry 'bout that).

Hi Michelle,

I sent you an email with the title "question about kitchen remodel" or some such just so you could sort it from the junk mail and offers to enlarge your malehood. (I get hundreds of those a day in my junk box.) (-: I know you are busy but I didn't want it to get lost, so I thought I would post here.

Take care,

Johannah

I'm learning the art (or is it a craft?) of stained glass. At this weblog, I record progress, note useful links, and document flesh wounds. Links The Art League Where I took a lead class and a 3D construction class. Weisser Glass Studio Where I buy supplies, and where I took a foil class. Virginia Stained Glass Co. Where I buy supplies if I happen to be in Springfield and if they happen to have what I want. Warner-Crivellaro Great prices on supplies, a lively and helpful Glass Chat message board, and excellent Technical Tips on stained glass tools and techniques.
