Bad Dog, Good Materials




The inspiration for this piece was a big ziplock bag of torn up crayola wrappers and personal experience as a dog owner and friend. The dog is handmade paper using leftover scraps of colored construction paper mixed with some raw pulp and a bit of dye where needed.

Your dog ate your crayons?!
Did he turn atomic orange or shocking pink? What a delightful inspiration!

That is one colourful crapper. Very creative use of those leftover materials we all hate to throw out.

This has brought back a long forgotten childhood memory, of seeing a 'doggy do' in the gutter, with orange crayons in it!
Oh how I wish I hadn't remembered that image!!!! :¬|
