"Heaven goes by favour. If it went by merit, you would stay out and your dog would go in."

So, for everyone who loves dogs, this is my first collection of dog - bookmarks, my first nine bookdogs.
Their two sides are made with the same fabrics, but their floppy ears look different and these sometimes fly in a somewhat funny way.
Some dogs have a waving tail, some sit in attention and have their tail at their side.
These bookdogs have the same dimensions as the bookbirds and the bookcats: 21 cm/ 7 cm or about 8"/ 3". The eyes, nose and mouth are embroidered by hand, the front legs are marked with quilting stitches.
The batting of the body, the ears and the tail is of woolen fleece.
All my bookmarks are signed with a small embroidered M.
If you wish, see also my post "Bookdog" from January 25, 2012.
If anyone is interested, I give some of those away, just send me an e-mail then: MARIASmail@t-online.de
(and for further information please go to "Give And Take", also on top of this side.)
The bookdogs here can't wait to be used in this lovely book: "Der Zauberer von Oz", (The Wonderful Wizard of Oz), Neugebauer Verlag, 1996. The beautiful illustrations are by Lisbeth Zwerger.
