So, this little bastard is the dog I hold responsible for a great many things in my life. He came as a set with my drummer husband - cantankerous dog with eccentric owner. There was many a screw loose in this poor little Jack Russell's head - whether from faulty dog-brain wiring, neglect, or abuse, we will never know. What I do know about Marvin (that's the name he came from the shelter with), is that for me he is and always will be a symbol of the fighting spirit. Whether he was a little evil man or a good little man, he was always himself. And although he died of cancer 7 months ago on May 3, 2009, he is still very much beloved and missed.
In honor of his fighting spirit and tenacious ability to survive, I named my etsy shop goodmarvin. In my shop, I explore new designs for handmade purses with both recycled and new fabrics, always trying to create one of a kind or small run bags. When it turns cold, I also find myself sitting in front of the television, knitting furiously. You may also noticed in my shop that I sell these curiously strange plush objects that resemble brightly colored pussies. (Yeah, I'm not talking about cats.)
Here are some pics of Marvy. I have also included some paintings I made of him before I turned into a plush sculptor.
