I just started on my 5th household pet guardian angel, the Tudor Dog. If you've been following all of us stitching this series to auction off in Milwaukee at the ANG Auction this fall, you know two other Tudor Dogs are done. Pat has been busy with hers

and Margaret just finished hers.

Note that my dog and theirs all are different breeds. This outline drawing had three different heads so one could customize their angel to their liking.
My dog's name is Holi, after the Festival of Color in India last week. I didn't want to stitch my dog in the same beautiful colors that Pat and Margaret used. Inspired by a photo of crepe paper flowers from last years' Cince de Mayo celebration in California, I decided to use a riot of color. When I discovered the festival on the day I started my dog, well, it was meant to be!

Here's more color inspiration from our friends in India. Holi's got a lot to live up to!
