Semi-beaded Old English Sheepdog pin/pendant.

Bead embroidery on felt. 2.5" x 1" (6.5 x 2.5cm)

I've been jumping back & forth between a few projects lately, mainly because I have a lot of beadwork to do! Here's what I worked on last night. It's another beaded Old English Sheepdog pin/pendant. This dog's name is Bailey, and she's a custom order for my Etsy shop! The design for this sheepie was taken from my pet portrait, The Divas. You can read more about the real Bailey HERE.

So far, I have about half of the beadwork done. I am working in tiny Japanese size 15 seed beads. This size is necessary to express the details I want. I have also used glass taxidermy eyes, and a button for her nose. How do you think she looks so far? Next, I need to add some beaded fringe to make her really come to life! Guess I'd better get back to beading! :)
