British designer makes guinea pig silver rings

Hi there!

My name is Holly and, i thought this guinea pig ring i made might interest your blog readers?

http://www.alittlestranger.com/wordpress/2012/04/kissing-guinea-pigs-925-fine-silver-ring/

I have recently begun creating silver jewellery and this is my first piece: An original design by A Little Stranger, handmade in .999 fine silver. Two tiny guinea pigs on-top a plain band. Each guinea pig is a teeny 11mm long.

I am a full time artist / designer working from my studio in London, UK. I am also the creator of super cute plush line (based on my pet guinea pigs!) Cavey. I mostly work with plush, with a bit of sculpting/model making thrown in, and, more recently, fine silver jewellery making.

Thanks :)
Holly

Internet memes: LOLpigz

Are you guys familiar with internet memes? In boring human explanation: it's a concept that spreads through the internet (source: wikipedia). It can be a video, a hyperlink, a picture etcetera. What usually happens is that someone makes or does something and that other people pick up this concept and create their own stuff with it. Then they share it online and this is how it becomes social and a part of popular culture. And hence an internet meme is born.

A famous example is the LOLcatz meme. LOLcatz are picture of cats with misspelled titles, and usually (intended to be) funny. Since everything here is guinea pig, we found some LOLpigz for you ;-)

p.p.s. got some time to kill? Go to google images and search for LOLcatz + guinea pigs (or anything else that you can come up with). Share your favorite finds (links) in the comments below

Makeover

We had a haircut.

(Coco) I usually really enjoy getting my hair cut, but this time the stylist cut it too short. I'm seriously considering going to a different stylist. Seriously. Madonna wouldn't put up with this. Neither would lady Gaga.

Hey stylist! I'm ready for some pampering

I hate you!

(Sjeuf) I never liked getting a haircut. I do not get Coco with her silly talk about me-time and relaxing. I just bolt.

And don't try distracting me with veggies; I'm too clever for that!!

Scanning the perimeter. Coast is not clear

Okay.. I have a weak spot and the stylist somehow figured it out. I am a real sucker for cuddling. Now I'm almost bald, she looks like a Yeti

The eating does not imply forgiveness!

Friday Video: the Guinea Pig Way

This week we have a classic as our Friday Video. Since most of you probably know Bing and his Guinea Pig Way, we'd like to ask you to get off your furry behind and DANCE!!!

It's almost wheekend so a little exercise will help you to get through the rest of this friday. Feel free to insert popcorns ;-)



Have a nice Wheekend!

Suus and Dunya's citytrip: The Hague - Part 1

This is a little story me (Mieke) and my sister Janneke made a couple of years ago.
I thought it would be nice to share something from the 'days of Yore'...

Suus and Dunya visit the Hague in the Netherlands

Suus and Dunya were nibbling on some nice basil leaves.

'Hmm, it sure is sunny outside, shall we go sightseeing in The Hague?' asked Suus.

'That's a great idea!, I'm already wearing my sunglasses', replied Dunya.

So the girls went to the Tram Stop.

Suus was eagerly waiting for the tram to arrive

'Suus, hurry up the tram is coming!!'

They both climbed aboard, and travelled to the city centre of the beautiful city of The Hague.

When they got out at the city centre's train station, the two little pigs sat down on a bench.

'WOW!! Look at all those bikes!!!' Dunya yelled.

'Those Dutchies must be very environmentallerly friendly...;-)'

Look!!

They named a street after Princess Snowflake, I knew she was famous!

Friday Video: Undercover Kitten

This kitten has a very nice camouflage technique, and he mixes it up with some extreme snuggling. Bet the humans are racing towards the fridge when they see that.

Well done kitten, well done ;-)



Have a nice Wheekend!

Friday Video: to the Guinea Cycle!

Dr. Trouble has done it again! This time he has stolen the guinea mobile, so the girls head to the guinea cycle!



Have a nice wheekend!
