Phase 2 of new project....


The Giraffe has been dubbed Stanley, by my Hubby LOL. We got the first coat of paper mache on it today!

It is actually around 7 feet tall at the top of its head! I wrapped the body in chicken wire to give it some width, should have taken a picture of that. Then we started slabbing on the paper mache!! Messy stuff LOL It is turning out pretty cool! Now to do the head and another coat on the body, then paint, when it is all dry.

    I gather you foster guide dogs--bravo.
    We are on southern Vancouver Island, not all that far from you.
    I had to use the outdated Google id to make this comment. I've moved on to my own site: http://www.dogagility2go.com/

  3. OH and we have raised two Guide dog puppies, our first was our daughters senior project, he is now a working quide in St Paul Mn. Our second one stressed out to much in training when he went back to GDB, so we got him back as a pet. I do want to raise another sometime.
