Brrrr - Janey-Mac it's cold

It's time for Janey to help me with ideas to keep warm. She said that polar fleece, faux furs, water and wind resistant fabrics and heavy wovens would probably be a good idea to play around with. I agree so we sat down and did some brainstorming.

Thinking is hard work

Thinking is hard work so we had a much needed summer break and now we are hard at work dreaming up coats. I think a few fall colour day trips will help keep the creativity flowing.

Janey Mac Chillies

Warm and fuzzy ideas for chilly days. Janey was convinced the sight hound coats were all for her. I keep telling her that hounds come in all sizes and that some of her cousins don't have the warm fuzzy fur that comes natural to her. She gave me her "oh I'll just smile and humour this silly human" ....

I'm so glad that I can re-use clothing especially the ones that had a rip and otherwise would have been thrown away. Now they have a new purpose of keeping someone special warm.

Janey Mac Celt and other fine tales

I just love myths and stories and was inspired to recreate them in the coats. This was my contribution to the the many stories I've enjoyed. The buckle is a picture of the Beowulf emblem from a recent movie. I thought it was cool and I will draw upon it as inspiration. I wonder which one of my two is Beowulf and which one is Grendel.

Sometimes it's hard to figure out which category a coat belongs in because I like to combine both the ink styles and the celtic styles.  They seem to work well together.  I've even found that the proud to be Canadian coats work well with the inking.  Especially the glow-in-the-dark paint that I found to make the coats visible in the winter time.
