She doesn't really like to wear clothing so I decided maybe a nice little bandanna was in order!<br /><br />The perfect fabric to chic up my Chi Chi came to mind, Heather Bailey's Pop Garden. OH YEAH! Lucky for me I had some in my closet!<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">About 20 minutes later Kona was lookin fab!<br /> (Doesn't she sorta look like a meerkat here?)<br /></div></div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_8-yn4x8SpNs/SYNBOTRYCvI/AAAAAAAAABw/A36eljugNGs/s1600-h/Kona+Bandada+2.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 177px; height: 236px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_8-yn4x8SpNs/SYNBOTRYCvI/AAAAAAAAABw/A36eljugNGs/s320/Kona+Bandada+2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5297149300664961778" border="0" /></a><br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;">Just cut a couple triangles, sew em up right sides together, flip inside out, fold over the end to make a channel for a collar to fit through, sew it up, and voila!

Christie Friesen is offering a new online class.<br /><br />Ever heard of Steampunking? Well if not go on Christie's <a href="http://www.cforiginals.com/">site</a> and check, check, check it out! I signed up for her Gryphon class. You learn to create the below.<br /><br />Isn't this Gryphon superb-a-licious?<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_8-yn4x8SpNs/SXDkgYbOV0I/AAAAAAAAABI/Nx3zMw3skAw/s1600-h/gryphon.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 163px; height: 217px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_8-yn4x8SpNs/SXDkgYbOV0I/AAAAAAAAABI/Nx3zMw3skAw/s320/gryphon.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5291980807123916610" border="0" /></a><br />She's issued part 1 but it's still not to late to register!<br /><br />While your on her site check out her other cool projects and books. I'll be sure to post some pics of my creations inspired by her works.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/172133381100578776-5041998089152638036?l=thinkyshrinky.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>- Jamie Osbornehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02288499377926997961noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-172133381100578776.post-19837501109318923382009-01-15T13:15:00.000-08:002009-01-15T17:40:30.235-08:00<span style="font-size:180%;"><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 102, 204);">This is my blog, it's my very first! </span></span><br /><br />I'll be posting works of supreme cuteness made by moi (French for me) and some fellow crafty craftersons. I'll also attempt to make some interesting conversation here and there.<br /><br />I'll start with one of my favorite crafts to make. Shrink Art!<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_8-yn4x8SpNs/SW-oij4wFtI/AAAAAAAAAAk/bmtxgMQTxaI/s1600-h/DSC_0045.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 241px; height: 160px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_8-yn4x8SpNs/SW-oij4wFtI/AAAAAAAAAAk/bmtxgMQTxaI/s320/DSC_0045.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5291633398885914322" border="0" /></a><br />I particularly like bees, I've been on a bee kick lately for sure. It's probably time to branch out. You'll recognize this little guy from my banner!<br /><br />I fell in LOVE with shrink art a few years back after buying Elaine Jackson's book, <span style="font-weight: bold;">Shrink Art In Style</span>. It's fantabulous!<br /><br />You can see Elaine's works on her <a href="http://birdandflower.com/blog.html">blogs</a> or her <a href="http://www.birdandflower.etsy.com/">etsy page</a>!<br /><br />Later Gators.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/172133381100578776-1983750110931892338?l=thinkyshrinky.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>- Jamie Osbornehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02288499377926997961noreply@blogger.com4
