Shih Tzu

[sayga]

I recently had my first custom order request on Etsy and it was to make 2 shih tzus. I was a bit intimidated but decided to give it a shot. I got the heads done, then didn't touch the project for a few days. Then I did the bodies and abandoned the project for a week. I wasn't sure I liked what I had so far. Finally I just took a deep breath and made the ears, legs and tails and sewed the pieces together, and I actually liked the results. They don't look as "shih tzu-y" as I hoped, but they did turn out kind of close, and at least they're fairly cute (if I do say so myself, which apparently, I do).

Thanks for looking!

















Oh, and here are the pictures of the dogs I was modeling them after. The colors turned out quite a bit lighter than I hoped. I only found the right color funfur in a different store AFTER I finished the heads and bodies...
