Who the heck customs a dog toy???... Apparently me.



I was at the a pet store recently with Butters to find him a good brush because he has been shedding like crazy lately! While in the dog toy isle I came across these "Bad/Good Cuz". I had seen these toys before when I worked in a kennel as a vet assistant, but hadn't given them much thought. For some reason they caught my eye and I thought "I need to paint those!" Vinyls, vinyl right? So I bought a few (They were actually pretty cheap. Depending upon size between $3-$10) After screwing up the 1st and a little more trial and error you can see what I came up with below. I found the surface to be kinda tacky. I had to wash them off twice before I could get the paint to really stick. I add some additional parts modeled out of polymer clay (Much like you would a munny) All in all these were pretty fun. I may make more in the future.

  1. awesome work and these sound more cost effective than some of the other blanks out there! the real question is will these be display pieces or new friends for butters, hope you have a few blanks left for him ;)
