Cobalt

Cobalt was designed and painted by professional artist Jenny Leonard.

Yellow guide dog sculpture with different phrases written on it. The dog has blue, green and orange painted scenes of people walking with their guide dogs.

Design summary

About her design inspiration, Jenny said, “As a live scribe, my design reflects and quotes the important values of Guide Dogs and brings them to life. These are in contrasting colours throughout a landscape that wraps around the dog’s body, with little silhouetted motifs of dogs and people with guide dogs.”

Sensory items

We asked our artists to come up with a scent and a touch item that relates to their design to give a multi-sensory perspective to their concept. Some of these items will be incorporated into our sighted guide and sensory tours. Jenny's sensory items are:

  • Touch item: A soft fabric heart.
  • Scent item: Blueberries.
