Artsy Pups: Domenica More Gordon

I have to thank the Brabourne Farm blog for tipping me off about the wonderful artist Domenica More Gordon. Look at the incredibly adorable felted pups she creates. I believe this sort of work is called 'felting'. But if you ask me how it's done, I just couldn't say. But I bet you could find the 'how to' online. Or at least, the beginning of 'how-to'. This sort of fine work, for me, rises above craft. Each little dog looks as if he or she might, at any moment, spring to life. All that's required is the wave of a magic wand. Is it art? Is it craft? Is it sculpture? Is it a toy?

All of the above.

Fun Stuff: Cartoonist/Illustrator George Booth.

I seem to be in need of a good laugh today. So George Booth's work popped into my head. Most well known, I think, for his work in the New Yorker, I have loved Booth's hilarious drawings for years. Far as I'm concerned, no one and I mean NO ONE gets the hysterical underpinnings of a cat quite like Booth. And dogs? Forget about it. NO ONE draws disgruntled, sneaky, amused, aggravated, dyspeptic dogs like Booth. He is the master.


Read a terrific interview with Booth and see more samples of his work here.
