A Puppy for Christmas

Merry Christmas from Gus and his new Beagle pup, named Sinatra. The puppy is a repainted Schleich Dalmation, and he's wearing a martingale collar made with some ribbon and a little chain. 

The Holiday Rush

Gus has a new lambswool peacoat, and wore it, along with his khaki chinos and a pair of high-tops from Mattel, to do some last minute shopping at the Church Street pedestrian marketplace.

There are a bunch of amazing boulders embedded in the street. Perfect for climbing.

There were quite a few people out shopping, and we got lots of positive comments during the shoot. Everything from "Nice doll!" to "Awe, he's such a hipster!"

Gus Goes Shopping

Gus explored some of the shops downtown in his new faux fur earmuffs, turtlenecked sweater, and charcoal pants.

 

Gus visited Nomad Coffee, outside the quilt shop where we buy the textiles for some of his clothes.

Outerwear for Gus

A variety of shoes for Gus to wear. They are made of paper, acrylic paint and glue.

Meet Gus

Here is Gus, 12 inch high model, ready for casting. 

On the right, Gus is posing with some illustrations of looks he might be modeling in the future. He is wearing a cotton knit T-shirt and a pair of cotton chinos. Gus has beaded and braided string bracelets on his wrists, and is wearing a matching necklace.

The Micro Barn is Festive!

The little tack room is all decorated for Christmas!

So are the standing stalls,

and there is a big wreath and some tinsel under the hay loft!

 The ornaments are made from cultured and glass pearls, and little gold beads. 

Deck the halls!

The bears have little lights and a garland for their house!

The garland is made out of variegated green yarn, twisted with some wire into a giant pipe cleaner. 

Equestrian Update

The tack room re-model is moving along and Brenda is enjoying her new flooring and carpet.
She's taken off her scarf for a better view of her v neck top.
