My son recently adopted a dog from the MSPCA (Mass Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) - she's a 2 year old Staffordshire Bull terrier. Her name is Choriza. I don't have any photos of her yet - but she looks pretty much like this photo I found on line. She stands just about a foot off the ground - and she is one sturdy little piece of muscle - very sweet and well behaved!
So, being a crafter, I made simple personalized ornament for my new granddog - since this is her first Christmas with my son and we wanted to make her feel welcome!
I found this unfinished wooden dog bone at Joanns - it's about 4" x 2". I painted it with Bronze Art Anthology Metal Effects Dimensional Paint - leaving the streaks in it to look more like a dog cookie. I added her name and the year with Idea-ology Label Letters and the snowflake and Christmas are Remnant Rubs Christmas Time. I brushed over everything with Multi Medium Matte to seal it. I added a piece of tan felt to the back and looped a piece of twine through the hole so he can hang it up.
