I have a kennel....or a Zoo

A long time ago some of my friends (who happen to be breeders) asked me to make some dog inspired jewelry. I said then that I had absolutely no idea how to make it; I mean have to make it intresting :)

Well, then one beautiful day when I had absolutely nothing to do (= I was not in a hurry) I started to twist the silver wire and whoooops!!! the Parsonrussell brooch was born! Then I thought that what the hell, let´s make some other breed as well, and I ended up making a poodle brooch....which was quite a succes, or whta do you think?






Then I had to start to try other colors....here you are the Abricot Poodle brooch



And of course, the Black Poodle is a Must have!



When my friends saw these creations they were quite thrilled and started to order these.....so since then I have been making....or should I say "breeding" :) quite a lot of these brooches.


Here some terrier inspired brooches and necklaces







I can also make these brooches/necklaces inspired by people´s own pets, like this one

And there are some brand new ideas in my head....next time I will make a very colorful parrots, butterflies and so forth.....and I have few other dog breeds on my to-do-list, too. I´ll keep you posted!
