Meet Brianna: Funnny & Original Dachshund Artist

We would like to introduce Brianna (Bry-anna) from central Kansas, USA. Not only is Brianna an amazing artist, she is a dachshund owner! She is a self proclaimed Weenie Dog Enthusiast; she has accosted dachshunds in public for sweet hugs!

Brianna's Artwork
Brianna creations range anywhere from elaborate puppets and oil paintings to sculpey, jewelry and paper craft. Currently, we have her fun dachshund magnets on our website (short hair, long hair and wire hair).

The silly dog magnets are hand drawn by Brianna while her dachshund Chris P. Critter sits in her lap!!

She uses a series of artist quality markers and pens to create her images. From there she takes her art work to a professional printer where they make beautiful color-rich and high quality copies. Back at her home, she turns the artwork into magnets by cutting out the circles and using a hand-press to snap the artwork into a 1.25 inch button. She uses very sturdy adhesive to secure the magnet on the back. The magnets are water proof and very strong.




Brianna's Dachshund
Now to Chris P. Critter. He is a 16-year-old wiener dog that loves to have tummy rubs. One funny fact from Brianna is that when Chris P. sneezes he hits his face on the floor! No worries; he does not get hurt when sneezing!
