Hi,
My daughter and I have a small craft business which allows us to spend time together. I carve wood mostly wildlife, dogs, cats, birds etc. and my daughter paints them. Last year we started doing an outdoor show at a local marina where people are encouragrd to bring their pets along for the evening. Because of our work people would ask us to do carvings of their dogs, I would carve the necessary breed and my daughter would paint it from a photo matching the coloring and markings. Because we can use photos we began to do dogs people had in the past even from childhood, sometimes they would order them for friends or relatives. The response was very rewarding. When we started our website just recently we decided to add a page with examples of some dogs we have done, and to offer this service to others. Someone can send or e-mail us a photo and we send back a copy of their pet. We are located at
www.woodenartbylandl.com. Please stop by and let us know what you think or how we can improve on the idea. We would like to add cats and small pets soon. Dusty51
