Hi ya all! I finally got the designs done for my collars/necklaces, I tried them on my dogs with success but I'm looking for a female chi model with a 7 inch neck to put it through the ringer for a few days and an honest opinion of how it looks, how it holds up, and how the clasp and stitches are designed to stretch for safety. I would also like pictures to be taken
so I can show others my ideas. ( I don't have a camera right now,lol)

I'm also looking for a male to try my spiral design and needs to have a neck smaller than 9 inches preferably and also is willing to pose and put my design through the ringer. Scratching,biting,playing,etc.

The reason I came up with this idea is a few things: I wanted to come up with something pretty, safe, light weight,affordable( seems like all the pretty necklaces for doggies start at $30!!),can be customized for each doggie or kitty ( yes I also have trials going on with kittys that don't belong to me),and that can be made to hold tags or charms that you choose can be added. I also wanted to make them so they can last even through all the playing and wrestling but still look nice and last a long time and can be worn everyday. I wanted them to look expensive without the price and look fragile but could be worn everyday not just on special occasions.

If you would be interested in helping me out and giving me your HONEST opinion, you can contact me by e-mail at lacedolphin3@yahoo.com or send me a private message through the board.

This is an idea I've had rolling around in my head for a long time, I've tried at least 15 different materials, unknown number of different patterns and techniques, and I've still got more ideas rolling around up there,lol. Hopefully at some point I can take my 2 loves...my crafts and my doggies and combine them to make something nice for everyone and for every budget.

Congratulations on your creativity!

My dogs are not full chis and I am not sure how big their necks are. Hopefully everything works out for you!

Good luck in your endeavors!

Their still dogs though! All babies should be spoiled, not just purebreeds!


The only reason I needed an exact size on the female one is I'm short on materials for that one from about 3 attempts before,lol.


Tyvm, I've been working on it for a long time on and off. Years actually.

Oh yes, I know...and they are spoiled. Today they had Vienna sausages from the can (although I know this is not a good habit). My boyfriend bought them all these fancy leather collars and leashes, but they've chewed through two of them. Woopsie!

Thanks to all that applied and helped me out. Please look for my website comming very soon! I'll have handmade collars, necklaces ( bunches of different styles and colors that can be customized!) and sweaters. I also have some more ideas in the works! Prices will be starting at only $5.00!!!!!
