Debra’s only work projects are to finish that bottle of tequila.
Most typical face on the planet and why.
Doggie Tepee
I want one!! Presley would look so freaking cute in this thing, but, unfortunately they are not for sale. Created by Slade Architecture.
Since they don’t have these for sale I thought of the next best thing, making my own using kids tepee’s as examples. This seems like a good summer project.
Studio Legohead
I love doggie portraits. Was even thinking of doing one of Presley myself but I never thought of decorating my pooch with hats, scarfs or aprons. These are made by a talented artist, Jo Chambers at Studio Legohead.
I will never love you more than _____…
