In September last year, Wayne came to me with a beautiful idea to commemorate his two beloved fur babies who had crossed the Rainbow Bridge. He wanted something that would capture their two very different personalities, but also the incredible bond they shared as best friends and kindred souls. 🐾

Together, we came up with the idea of creating two large thigh pieces, one on each leg, telling their individual stories while still connecting them.

Each piece incorporates their puppy photos in Polaroids, their favourite toys from when they were little, and the special place they loved going for walks with their Mum and Dad. Every little detail was chosen to represent the memories and personalities that made them so special. 🤍

A little note: You’ll notice a small unfinished area within Brianna’s Polaroid. This is where a mole was previously removed, and the skin needs at least another year to heal before I’m comfortable going back in to complete that section.

A massive thank you to Wayne for his trust, patience and commitment over the past year to bring these pieces to life. Projects of this size take time, dedication and plenty of hours in the chair, and it’s been such a privilege to create something so meaningful.

We’re now looking forward to finally giving Lidwina her turn and completing her portraits, as well as continuing on with the rest of Wayne’s legs!

It’s always a bittersweet feeling coming to the end of such large projects, especially ones with so much sentimental meaning behind them. But seeing everything finally come together is incredibly rewarding.

Two very different personalities, two kindred souls, and a lifetime of memories forever captured in ink. 🐾🤍

Thank you again, Wayne, for trusting me with something so special.
