Victorian Dog Art

18. March 2010 by Parker.

I’ve found my next project which I am truly excited about and yet me husband may be a bit apprehensive. I’ve always loved the Victorian traced profile pics. You know the ones, we all did them in elementary school at one or or another. So while I was perusing a gazillion web sites on the internet, I had to stop and rejoice when I saw these:

I just love the idea of including the family pet in a collection or simply doing just a collection based on the family pets. (I have 6 dogs and 5 cats so I thought they would make an interesting canvas study). Basically, you will want to take an existing side profile shot of your dog, print it out on paper, cut out the image and then trace it onto black or white paper, depending upon how you want the final product to look. Or, you can spend more money and print them on canvas like the ones in the picture. I think I am just going to find some creative and inexpensive frames and let the artwork do the talking for me!
