Howdy y’all. I’m passing along this request from a KC Freecycle member who needs a pup or two to photograph for a fundraiser. She’s a member of the KC Clay Guild and is sculpting a piece for Greater KC Humane Society’s upcoming Art Unleashed auction on August 22. Details below.

If you can help, email Kelly at littlesilvertrout [at] yahoo.com.

Please and thank you.

6/22/08: Wanted: puppy to photograph for a charitable cause: Shawnee

I am a member of the KC Clay Guild (www.kcclayguild.org) and we are working on a group-project to donate to Art Unleashed (www.hsgkc.org/eventspage.html click on the “Art Unleashed” tab for more information. My donation last year is the yellow dog with big ears in the bottom right picture).

I need a smooth-coated puppy, such as a Weimaraner, Pointer, Doberman, Hound etc. to photograph so I have figure studies to work from. This will be a sculptural piece. Mixed breeds would be fine as well, just not any of the domed-headed toy breeds. I’m looking for a puppy in the six to twelve week age range that still looks “babyish”

I hope to find someone reasonably close to downtown Shawnee who would be willing to give me about thirty minutes of time in which to photograph their puppy. I would be willing to meet at your house or in a public park if you prefer.

Last year combined KC Clay Guild member donations to this event raised $1105.00 for the Humane Society of Greater Kansas City. This year we want to top that.

Thanks for considering my request,

Kelly Walsh

Updated 7/4/08 to add:

Someone did see my request and let me photograph her puggle puppies. The piece is nearing completion. I’ll send a photograph if you would like to see it. There is always an element of risk when firing ceramics, so I want to do a few more similar pieces as back-up and would like more photographs to work from.

As usually happens, I thought I had all of the shots I wanted, but once I got into it I wished I had more. It would be great if you could post my request on your blog!
