Update 2014 I'm no longer creating the dog beds and
they are completely sold out. Thank you for your past
support and purchases.
Visit my new online shop featuring my mosaic art.
Thank you!
Gray and White dog bed with reversible hand painted cushion
It started as one of those tables with the gold strip on it.
Let's just say I was determined to make
it NOT look like that anymore haha
Even after priming and base coat, I could still "see" that plastic gold strip...bleh...
So I removed the frame section...
So I could remove that hideous, no offense if you have this kind of table, gold section...
Then I glued and screwed the frame piece back in place...
much better!
Recently when I was working on a mosaic surfboard,
I made a few of these mosaic dog bones while I had all my materials out.
I cut them out of plywood then added the stained glass...these in the
pic haven't been grouted yet.
I decided to use the gold one on this bed
Cute little gold feet...
Strange that I worked hard to get rid of that gold strip
and here I am adding gold back into the bed...but I think it looks
great with the gray and white.
I also added these gold painted wood buttons that are glued AND nailed into place.
Yes, I pre-drilled a tiny hole in each one so I could tap a nail in.
I didn't want any babies or doggies thinking those are for snacking
The back...
Without the cushion
I made a cushion to fit then painted with white bones on one side and...
A big gold paw print and white dots on the other side...
Thanks for taking a look at my latest dog bed.

You are so imaginative & creative! I could have stared at that thing for a week & still just see an 80's style end table! I've been reading your blog like mad since I discovered it a few days ago & I'm starting to view my "junk" as endless possibilities! (Of course my husband is cringing at the thought of teaching me to use power tools & the expense of supplies!) Lol!
ReplyDeleteThank you Alex, I appreciate that! Get those power tools out :)
ReplyDeleteThat's a cute dog bed! You are so resourceful and really creative. You should also treat your pet to the dog boarding in Long Island at least once a month so he'll be completely happy.
