Last night I took a break from working on my beaded motorcycle and made this hot pink poodle! Some of you may be offended by pink poodles, but I made this special for Valentine's Day! I am really not a fan of unnatural hair-colouring on any type of dog, but there is a part of me that secretly likes the novelty of it. Pink poodles are so Hollywood, but I prefer to think of them as punk! (I was listening to The Ramones when I made this! LOL)

I made the poodle using only Japanese size 15 seed beads in 4 different shades of pink! The stitching technique is what creates the effect of curly dog hair. I also used a metal eye pin to stiffen the dog's tail - it works well! This pink poodle is available for sale in my Etsy shop. It can also be made in black, white, or gray upon request! :)

What kind of dog should I make next? :D
