Bully, a humorous Frenchie, is the one of the few pieces in the series with abstract elements. The idea started with a bell which Nirit was eager to incorporate into the collection, and the French bulldog seemed most appropriate. Bulla, the female version, was made as a companion to Bully.

Metal gear parts, which are round and allow air to move through them, were the perfect material to capture the graceful and fragile appearance of the Saluki. Nirit became fascinated with the breed, which is also known for its strength and intelligence, after playing with a friend's hound on the beach one afternoon.

Lola is an adorable little mutt near and dear to Nirit's heart - a replica of Nirit's sister's beloved dog Lola. Real-life Lola is known for her wit and good looks. Nirit calls her The Super Model.

The art of making scrapbooks has been going on for years. Yet it is the most endearing way to keep memories of your friends for posterity. The scrap book not only defines you as a person it also preserves handwriting, sketches and other traits of your friends. In today’s digital world no one takes the pain to be creative, individualistic and fun. Scrapbooks of holidays, schooldays and college years bring many a smiles to our faces than going on a networking site and casually liking some random post.

― A.A. Milne, Winnie-the-Pooh

“If ever there is tomorrow when we're not together... there is something you must always remember. You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. But the most important thing is, even if we're apart... I'll always be with you.” 

― A.A. Milne

“Some people talk to animals. Not many listen though. That's the problem.”

Winnie the pooh is a fantastic book  about frienship written by A.A. Milne and beautifully illustrated by artist E.H. Shepard.
