Now I consider myself a nudist since I run around with no clothes 99% of the time. Frankly, I only need a coat or aweater if there's a freak blizzard or something. Why? because I am furry. And when I say I'm furry, I mean really very furry. Mama says it's the Chow Chow in my background. Whatever it is, suffice it to say that even naked, I'm covered if you know what I mean. However, get a load of this dog breed! Until I saw a Chinese Crested dog, I guess I didn't know what naked really... Read Full Story
Meet Noid, he's a sculpture I recently did. He is a Chinese Crested and his mommy wanted the sculpture to look like the caricature he's sitting on in the first photo so I tried to do a cross between the real dog and the cartoon dog.

I just recently put this art tile pendant into my shop. The art tile depicts a Chinese Crested. The tile is hand-sculpted from a beautiful lavender polymer clay, etched and highlighted with a dark purple paint. At the top center of the tile is a large Swarovski crystal charm. The pendant hangs from two bails on either side of the tile. This tile can either be hung on the wall or worn as a pendant. Size is approximate: 2-3/4" long top to bottom 1-3/4" wide

The Chinese Crested dog has a delicate and fine-boned body. The breed comes in two types-the hairless and powder puff. The hairless variety has no coat aside from the silky tufts on his head, tail, and feet -which means no hairs on carpet.
