Sighthound Goodies
Handmade soap, air fresheners, pet portraits and more!
Hi there! I’m Anne, 20 years old, living in the Netherlands. I love photography, graphic design and Greyhounds. I’m always looking for creative things to do. That’s why I came up with the idea to combine these things and I started making my own soap, air fresheners, keychains and other stuff with a theme: sighthounds. I’ve had sighthounds all my life, currently I have 1 Greyhound.
In my Etsy shop you will find some unique sighthound gifts! Most of the things are handmade, others are made by me on the computer.

Slouching Hound

Dog O’ Nine Tails
My name is Lisa Rees and all items are handmade by myself! When I first started out I just made house collars for greyhounds. This has now developed and I can now offer martingale style walking collars for sighthounds along with collars for other breeds.
All the collars featured are suitable for greyhounds, there are also some whippet collars.
I also make bags and tassels, you canfind me on facebook HERE

Jay Silver Jewellery
I enjoy making jewellery, especially if I can link it up to greyhounds somehow! I like to use a mix of modern and vintage materials – vintage beads and findings can be gorgeous! I work with silver, gold or silver plated metals, copper, base metals, glass, acrylic, plastic, lucite, cords and thong, among other things! If I like it, I’ll use it.
I now make braided microfibre suede tag necklaces for greyhounds in my own unique ‘heart and starfish’ design. I will take custom orders for different sizes, beads, charms.
These necklaces are designed to sit at the base of the neck, therefore they are loose enough to pull off over the head should the dog get caught on anything, but for extra safety I make them with unsoldered jump rings and a fairly weak split ring to join them.
Ear-hooks, stringing materials and clasps are always new (naturally!) and ear-hooks are plated with gold, nickel-free silver, or they can be plain surgical steel if requested. If I can, I buy gold or silver plate on surgical steel so that they don’t become allergenic if the plating is damaged. All jewellery comes in a little box, except dog tag collars which are packed in a self-seal bag.
50% of the purchase price of any jewellery sold through the Craft Showcase will be donated to Brambleberry Greyhounds

Wild Things For Greys
Zoe Potter Contemporary Artist
As an artist I explore surface decoration using print and paint techniques. Layering colour, texture and pattern to create vibrant compositions. I work on a number of surfaces from paper to card, anything with an interesting surface that can be manipulated or collaged. I especially love to work on to fabric at my table and then stretch the finished image on to a frame. I can then put it on my easel to review and refine it.

Zoe was commissioned to design the new Greyhounds4me wrapping paper and the first one of the collection is now unveiled and on sale.
“Greyhounds in Pyjamas” is now available in our online shop
