Octopodes (good plural) have blue blood, three hearts and no skeleton. They can fit through any space bigger than their beak, and can be trained to come to their name when called. They are also nature’s best liquid dancers. Fact!
illustrations and other thoughts
Just another doggy doodle…
We’re lucky with Daisy in that, unlike this dog, she’s pretty much self-cleaning! Gets into the car a sodden mud coated beast, gets out a shiny new dog. Of course, that means all the dirt gets left in the car…
Badgers badgers, I like badgers. Who doesn’t like badgers? Well, farmers I suppose… and cows with TB. But we’ll just ignore them! Badgers, badgers, badgers.
I made some badger badges:
Hmm, I have to think of something OTHER than badgers to draw today.
I made some hand-painted wooden badges- it’s easy to get a bit carried away with this badge thing.
So I’ve been having some fun the last few days working on something a bit different – brooches! I bought a couple of sheets of acrylic and some silver brooch backs, and I’ve made some things. These ones are based on some dog illustrations I’ve done in the past:
Dalmatian (he’s not on Etsy yet because I’m wearing him! I’ll make more maybe)
They’re fun to make if nothing else! I’m going to try my hand at some painted wooden badges next, so watch this space!
(P.S. if anyone would like me to make a breed of dog that they don’t see, let me know! I can work from a photograph if you want me to make one of your dog)
