Dog on a Bun

Hot Dog! 

I get excited when my punch art comes out the way I hoped.

Is "Hot Dog!" used universally for expressing positive excitement? Or is that a Texas/Southern/American thing?

If you gave this little guy a different facial expression you could use him with "Hot Dog!" but with this look on his face I thought he was more "Ruff Day"...

I tore the paper and used the SANDED background for Ruff=Rough because I was being my usual "clever" self .   (Read "clever" with a very sarcastic tone in your eyes)

Here's the details for the Dog on a Bun:

Bun - sahara sand – curly label – rounded the middle point with scissors

Mustard – more mustard (surprise!) – same as bun but use the short side of curly label punch

Body – small oval

Tail – branch from 2 step bird (or cut a thin strip)

Neck – word window – trimmed thin lengthwise

Snout – small oval – trimmed to thin one end

Nose – tip of word window – repunched with same

Teeth – retired slot punch (could just use a strip)

Mouth behind teeth - ½ of small heart

Eyes – white – small heart

Eyes – black – tiny circle from owl (or use a marker)

Eyelids – circle itty bitty punch pack cut in half

Ears – small heart – trimmed with scissors

Feet – circle from itty bitty punch pack around 2 of the bumps at end of modern label

Add tiny white highlights with gel pen on nose and eyes.


I like this much better than my first dachshund attempt - so the moral of this story is...

Keep Punching - Improvement will come!
