My Beautiful New Two-headed Dog Cerberus – Easily Amused Goods & Dallas Russell

Todd Powelson

|

ORIGINALLY POSTED ON AUGUST 8, 2010

Handmade by Dallas Russell

I recently helped local artist and craft-person, Dallas Russell, with some graphic design work. I love what she makes so much that I was happy to help… and check out this two-headed dog she made for me! I call it “Cerberus”, and I love my new pet.

You can get your own Dallas Russell original next Saturday, August 14th at Craft Lake City. Just look for her Easily Amused Good booth. You can also see examples of her work in this summer’s Stuffed Magazine!
