WonderPup's letting me post the pictures since I did the haircut and photobucket was being a butthead for her.
This took pretty much all day(mostly because I'm slow and the dye had to sit). WP was really helpful with directions and Jazz was REALLY tolerant of us.
It all started with a crummy stencil
she has all the in between pictures so we'll magically leap forward into the finished product
her kyoot little butt
It was lotsa fun... and foreshadows Zephyr's future. heehee
maybe WP will be able to post the other ones later.
Wow! I'm really impressed. The Red and Blue colors took really well. I have to admit. When I first saw her tail, I thought of a giant snow cone. Yummy! LOL.
My favorite haircut from some grooming pictures posted in the recent past, was a poodle that had the hearts on the hind quarters for Valentines. It's like you took my favorite picture and adapted it for the 4th of July. Only this is a much better version.
I know Jazz is going to be quite the rage this holiday! You two did a great job.
ROFL, No... If mel had to blowpen the whole thing I'm certain I would have been driving her to the hopsital after she passed out and cracked her noggin' on the table or the floor...
The ears and the red tip of the tail are blow pen, the rest is good 'ol aint NEVER gonna wash out so you might as well shaved it Manic Panic.
Anywho, here are some pictures of the process
Applying the dye
Rinsing the dye
Defining the stars
Blow penning the tail
Jazz has been getting all sorts of attention. On our evening walk yesterday evening a couple of peole who must have just been glancing out their window or something came out of their houses for a better look and a couple of cars stopped and gawked lol. All the comments have been friendly though. My clients at work LOVE IT LOL, we've had a couple come back in and take pictures lol. Jazz has a date with the nursing homn for the weekend of the fourth to go and brighten some of the resident's day. They are going to love her, as always lol.
Ahh yes, I remember the manic panic days LOL! I had a totally white cat we dyed blue lol! He was a good sport about it, lucky you didn't run into those types of people who think it is animal crualty...ya what ever, Jazz was not harmed and seems to enjoy the attention as did my cat lol. She looks great, even if Mel did not have to get light headed to do it LMAO!!!!!!!
that's an *awesome* picture of me and the blowpen. :rolffleyes:
and yeah just doing the tail with a blowpen there was a bit of getting lightheaded. i'm surprised parents don't complain about their kids passing out after using those...
I know I would stop to take pictures. It's not just the typical one color dye job. You really have quite a complicated pattern there. I think it's fantastic that you take her to the retirement center.
The process looks like a lot of work. I had no idea what a blow pen was. Pretty neat to see the pictures. Thanks for posting them.
I saw Wonder posted these on myspace the other day! What a very creative grooming job this is, I just love it!Her tail looks like some cotton candy
on a stick...mmm.
