Crufts 2012
  
A Series of Japanese Shiba Inu Portraits
 
This is a series of Portraits of Japanese Shiba Inu that I worked on specifically intended to raise money for 'Japanese Shiba Inu Rescue' at Crufts 2012.
The aim was to have a variety of choice open to both breeders and public alike with all four recognised coat colours of the Shiba Inu, there are four colours in all and I have the white still to do so please keep checking back if you are interested in seeing the white or any more of my recent work.
 
After producing these detailed studies, I then printed the image onto various product, T-shits, Pens, Fridge Magnets, Bookmarks, Mousemats, Tote bags, Keyrings and much more, if you are interested in any of my products? Please check out my Products Page, I am always finding new things to print on so keep coming back to find out what is New.

'Cushion Covers'
 
 This lovely cushion cover looks delighfull in any home, can be enjoyed on the sofa or kept as a collectible item.
I can print on white or cream, equally as effective.
 
 
 

 'Keyrings'
 
Keyrings suit everyone, a great addition to any set of keys
 
 
 
 
 
'Pens'
 
You can't go wrong with a good pen and these pens have your chosen image under the perspex body of the pen to stop the image getting scratched off like other pens, this way your image stays perfect forever and if prefered, you could always swap the image for another.
These pens also have a black rubber grip, making them more comfortable to hold and write with.

'Japanese Shiba Inu Rescue'
 
 To try and raise money for the Shiba Rescue, along with donaiting a Portrait of a stunning Shiba and completing 3 other portraits to work with,  I printed up various products with each of the Shiba Inu I had on to make some great items for the stand on the day.
 
 

 
'Candles'
 
 These bright white candles with a 'fresh linen' fragrance look beautiful on any shelf or mantelpiece, the effect achieved by using waterslide decals. The candle can still be lit and burned as any other candle, that's if you can bear to see you favourite image disappear!
 
 
 

 
'Bookmarks'
 
 These bookmarks look wonderfull and make lovley little gifts for someone.

 These lovely fridge magnets come in 2 sizes, Medium and Large, a great addition on anyones fridge.
