Are you? Are you?

The lovely Jo, 1/2 of the amazingly talented Cart Before the Horse duo, is having a 100th post give away.

To celebrate this milestone she’s giving away a folky bird ornament dolly like this one:

I know what you’re thinking–what, who, how do I win that most awesome dolly?

It’s simple. Just go to Jo’s blog and leave a comment on her giveaway post. I’ll even make it easier for you since I know that you’re probably all aflutter with excitement right about now. Just click here & leave Jo a comment. If you have a blog, post about this giveaway & she’ll enter your name twice. That’s right. TWICE.

I would wish everyone good luck, but NAH, I want to win this little guy myself.

And thanks Jo, for giving us all this opportunity to own a piece of Cart Art!

Jack – A Primitive Fawn Pug in his Super Cool Wingtips.

December 15, 2008 By Rebecca 2 Comments

This cute fellow is Jack. Jack is my original design & has been made of muslin & stuffed with fiberfill . He measures 11″ tall from head to toe. He’s been painted & sanded a couple of times, giving him a lovely, aged patina. He’s been sealed with a combination of glossy & matte sealers so that he may be lightly dusted after display. Jack has a slight sheen.

Jack can sit with assistance & has a hemp loop attached to his back for hanging. His knees have been sewn through, making him a perfect shelf sitter.

Jack’s ears & muzzle have been attached separately by hand. His muzzle sticks out approximately .25″, giving him a great pug profile.

Jack’s fingers have been needle-sculpted by hand. He’s sports brown painted gloves. He also sports retro, two-toned oxfords with brown socks.

Jack’s shirt has been constructed from taupe osnaburg. It features a hand-stitched neckline & hand-gathered sleeves. It also features 3 vintage, mother of pearl buttons. His chocolate corduroy bibs feature hand-stitched hems & a hand-gathered waist. His bib straps have been attached with grey embroidery thread.

Jack & Trixie (available separately).

Jack will be available on eBay tonight at 9:15 PM EST. He will end Dec. 21 at 9 PM EST. Click here to view or bid!
