This is Vianne. She's a beautiful golden retriever. Her reddish colored hair makes her extra special. She is the most popular dog at the dog park in Boulder, CO. She makes friends of all shapes, sizes, and species everywhere she goes. Her yearly birthday parties at the park feature liver and meatloaf cake that her dog friends rave about. Yes, she is a little bit spoiled :) but she has earned it. She is a wonderful therapy dog, too. She prefers to eat on the kitchen counter. She loves a good ear scratch or butt rub. Purple is her favorite color, and it looks great in her. Everything looks great on her :) ******************************** this dog can stand on its own, sit, lay down, and stand on its hind legs with support. really fun to play with because of all of the things she can do! Rust colored recycled felt fur. Also available in honey tan, black, ivory cream, or chocolate brown, just contact me. leather riveted tag in ear. hand stamped with "arden and james" logo Vintage stitched collar. colors will vary depending on availability. ********************************* each dog is made to order. I don't use patterns, so each dog has a little different personality. They have a really cute vintage look to them. i can try to make a dog that looks similar to yours if you send me a photo… hand and machine stitched round safety plastic eyes and embroidered nose and mouth fully jointed: head, arms, and legs stuffed with eco-poly fiber and fabric scraps about 12" tall (paw to top of head) and 10" long (nose to tail) * supervise children under 3 hand wash, dry in the sun. i can add a custom leather collar for you, with a name/any text you would like. just send me a message and let me know what you would like it to say.

I am an industrial designer with a home workshop near Philadelphia, PA. I am a mother of two little boys, and a maker of things whenever I have a free hand.
I work with natural materials to create functional and meaningful pieces that will last a lifetime or longer. I allow the natural materials to "be themselves," or I let their natural characteristics become the character of the finished piece.
My pieces are sold in local boutiques and museum shops, as well as online.
