I have a new design now too! Very rich: shiny, colourful and eye catching.
And our foster George, the greyhound, is modeling it very nicely! ❤️

Another custom made collar for a special puppy! It is a beautiful piece of dyed fabric that looks different from different angles and impossible to do it justice on a photo! (Ignore the tag, I was recycling provided hardware)

No, don't want the cure, thank you! 😁

It happens 🤣

Haven't posted here for a while...
Tygan has a new brother, a borzoi puppy called Almaz! Isn't he a cutey!
Now I can get to make dark collars too! They will be perfect for Almaz's white coat! ❤️

It's been quiet collar wise here for a while but it is going to change soon...

We had such a special opportunity today: Tygan was invited to participate in a photoshoot for Kotuku Foundation to promote companion dogs for people with PTSD, in his case to promote borzoi in this role! There will be two borzoi girls joining this project that will come from the next litter by the breeder we got our Tygan from (and hopefully we'll get our future boy from too). https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/last-post-first-light/103182908/puppies-and-the-annual-poppy-appeal-helping-veterans-with-posttraumatic-stress

Veterans' puppies a gift to help those with post-traumatic stress.

Tygan in blue... :-)

Despite my sewing machine playing up I managed to finish this collar. Would love to try it on Tygan but will have to wait till the evening when he actually wakes up! (typical sighthound, asleep the whole day!)

Tygan meets his doppelganger. :-)
Big, big thank you to Vincents Art Workshop for this beautiful piece!
Check out their page for more colourful doggies they made for their Year of the Dog fundraising. I think all sold now. UPDATE: there are more!

Still learning the tricks of working with velvet but love the look and feel of it!
And this ribbon is SO gorgeous, need to try it blue, gold and maybe green!

Tygan is 1 year old now!
Happy Birthday, big boy!

Red velvet and sparkly jacquard, love it!

I want, I mean, Tygan NEEDS new collars! :-)
So I am playing with new combos and it looked too much of an eye candy not to take a photo of it!

Thinking of doing a 5 drawings of Tygan a day challenge... Should be fun. :-) Don't worry you won't see them all here! ;-) Here is a start:

Tygan LOVES running!

A prototype of a lustrous blue peacock collar. Trying out new hardware and a golden thread. It is SO reach and soft and has webbing inside for extra strength!

Hasn't Tygan grown since my last post here! While I don't have time to make more collars I realised today that all this time I've been testing the ones I made. Days, even months, of wearing and pulling went by and they are still fine! It also helped to notice all those little improvement that can be done to make them even better. Can't wait to get my sewing machine out again!

Luscious red with golden yellow pattern that also has different colour embroidery within it that makes it like a hologram!

03/08/2017

This is such a beautiful fabric but a pain to photograph! Each feather/scale's eye is different colour.
The collar is a bit too "meaty" to my liking so I will be working on lightening it.

Tygan is photobombing! :-)

Forever classic silver and turquoise. I think it demands a tassel!
