"I Wanna Be Like You Dad" - Plastic Surgery and a Dog

First off, I had to do a little facial re-adjustment. then I worked on his ears and added hair.
I've thought, over the past couple of days, that a puppy would be cool. Border Collies are used for herding and since this is a little boy on a ranch, a Border puppy seemed worth a try. That's all I did today, was try. Never created that breed before, so there's going to be a learning curve. I'm certainly going to redo this puppy, till I get him right, or I'll just take him off the piece.

Hi David,

it's me again :) The puppy is so cute and looks so deceivingly simple to do, I will have to try, lol! Dogs are lovely creatures, like children they want to give more love than one deserves...

I have to admit, I already stole an idea from you... made my fairy a cowboy fairy, thought that would be so cute! I have to practice the cowboy hat though, sigh...

Hugs,
Alex

You never steal.. you create.. lol. I love the little fairy.. The hat though.. well .. it looks like one you'd get at K-mart and not at Sheplers.. lol Watch tomorrows vid.. I'll be talking to you, not by name of course. but I want to show you something.

Cooool... it will be the first I will look for tomorrow morning :))

I baked the fairy this night, so the poor little thing will have to wear the K-mart hat for a long time, lol!
Btw., in Berlin not many people wear hats, even in cold weather. Baseball caps you see a lot, mostly NY :))

You'd think you'd see a lot of cowboy hats here as well in Montana.. I mean it is cowboy country. But baseball caps outnumber cowboy hats.. lol
