meet The Lady, off to a party where she will fall in love with The Tramp.
this is my first pet/animal portrait. i quite enjoyed adding texture to The Lady's fur, though i must say i need more practice. this goes off to my best friend, Nao (Toychiometry), who is dreaming of having a cocker spaniel of her own, though one that isn't as girly as this.
continuing my fixation on Japanese things, well despite the traumatic events that devastated many of our Japanese friends, i have to feature something on the positive side. Moshimo shop has the cutest, and i do mean cutest, toys on Etsy.
also many of Japanese Etsians are donating a percentage of their sales for relief. be sure to check out Team Etsy Japan if you think this is a way to do your part for their country.
more less interesting, but deserving, news from Japan. i found this on yahoo and my heart just melted, and i haven't even watched the video yet! click here to read more.
i remember the movie Hachiko in this news. that's why i love dogs, they're very affectionate and caring. i miss my Boltie (my sibe/spitz mix baby)! this is a reminder that humans are not the only creatures capable of camaraderie and concern, and we are not the only inhabitants of this planet!
