What a difference a groom makes!

I always enjoy/fear doing the final 'groom' on my furred sculpts. Much like getting your own hair, or pets hair cut I'm never certain I wont cut off too much, and unfortunately, with these guys, hair doesn't grow! It requires more careful gluing!

I thought it would be fun to show you what a difference a groom makes. I've been wanting to make a poodle for ages. They're my dream dog in 'pawson' I'd love to be owned by one. I know people think they're all show and no oomph, and that's a big reason for me liking them. I often surprise people, I'm a petite young women and people often don't expect the force of will that hides within my fragile looking exterior. ;) Yeah, I can relate to the poodle, I guess a lot of people can.

Alas, Sensibility means I can only dream for the time being. I've been buying and trying potential wools for poodle fur for a while till a kind lady groomer on the Ruffdogs forum, sent me some poodle, and bichon fur. I actually ended up using the bichon for this miniature poodle who stands at just over 3/4's of an inch at the shoulder. So to scale, she is 10 inches high. :)

After!:

I think this little girl is going up on Ebay. I want to try and judge if my prices are relevant to the 'market' and Ebay is a good place to let people set their own price. I hope she sells! lol!

I can now set about making my own dream poodle, a standard.
