Pit Bull Puppy Christmas Ornaments


A--Adult-Gray & White Pit Bull Ornament

B--Gray & White Pit Bull Puppy Ornament
These Pit Bull Puppy Ornaments are the first installment of a series of Christmas Ornaments inspired by dogs. The original design inspiration for the Pit Bull ornament was a neighbor's dog when it was a puppy. She was a gray and white and I just loved her floppy ears. In order to capture the essence of the dog, I had to figure out what it was. If I had to think of one adjective to describe the look of this breed, then I would say muscular. It was very challenging to give the sense of muscle using felt in a flat design. It took many rounds of trial and error until I achieved the desired look.  When I showed a friend the ornament he said that Pit Bulls get their ears clipped. So, I made one ornament showing the dog with clipped ears. However, I noticed that the Pit Bulls in my neighborhood don't have clipped ears. I am curious to know what you all think. Feel free to share your feedback regarding the ears (clipped vs. non-clipped) and which ornament you like best--A, B, or C.

  1. Some have clipped ears and some don't. I personally prefer long natural ears, because clipping is purely cosmetic. B is my choice. :)
