I've always enjoyed looking at Heidi Kenney's craft projects on her Flickr page, but the other day I found the above creature and I was blown away! The doggie in question is Tock from the classic children's tale the Phantom Tollbooth.
Heidi presented Tock as a gift to the author Norton Juster at a recent event, it should also be noted that the illustration of Tock was created by Jules Feiffer who is an amazing cartoonist. You can find Heidi's blog here, and if you like work you can even buy some of her crafts here.
