How many bassets can fit in one recliner? 
Apparently two - albeit it doesn't look real comfortable.
My silly boys.

Doodle Drawing

This Basset originally began as a therapy for me.
Some sad changes going on in my personal life
 (good in the long run but in the short term )
But as often happens when we are feeling sorry for our situation
we are humbled by the hardship of others. 
I finished the teardrops on this basset watching the coverage
of the terrible tragedy in Moore, OK. 
It truly put my sad feelings in perspective.
My thoughts and prayers are focused on the families
and friends impacted by such a terrible disaster.

My week long recovery last from 5/14 - 5/20.

I just wasn't up to or capable of creativity while healing.

 

But I'm Back Now.

A priceless picture of all the bassets. 
They sit so patiently waiting for Dad to come home.
As soon as they hear his vehicle coming they start whining
and shaking uncontrollably.  You'd think they loved him or something.

Food Craft

This yummy basset is created with Craisins.  They were just sitting
there on the counter and I'm confident they were saying use me.

As a disclaimer, it is impossible for me to say that no craisins were
harmed in this creation because several were devoured during creation.

Paper Craft

This seemed like a great craft when I first saw the craft.
After I printed everything out, lo and behold I found
out that all the instructions were in Japanese.

This turned out really cute but was quite a difficult task.

Penny Craft
 

Today's Basset is brought to us courtesy of the US Mint.
He just begs you to offer him a penny for what is on his mind.
If you look closely I used different colored (more tarnished)
pennies for his ears to give them more definition.
