If anyone can find a good picture of the FedEx Home Delivery Puppy on the internet, you'd make a Waterford junior girl happy.

I'm assuming you've tried images.google.com ?

Not that I have, but I'm suggesting  :)

Thank you!   ;)   I had only tried google, and not images.google.

If the FedEx puppy were bringing you a frisbee instead of a package, he might look like this:

The scan did not turn out great, but you get the idea.  For the other puppy, I put a piece of paper under the disc to minimize the shadows.

Kelsey did the art modification, changing the square package into a round disc.  All I did was cut the sticker.  I'm doing a cool Red Wings disc for T.R. Pluister which I will post when it is done.  It is under dye right now.

Nice looking disc.  Unfortunately, Gary Bettman says you cannot use it in a sanctioned tournament due to the lockout. :D

Yeah, and if Mike Ilitch sees us using his Red Wings logo without permission, We're all going to jail!

Tonight I was working on 2005 IOS micro-basket mini trophies, dying the wood discs so that Kira can start making the baskets.  Also, the PDGA had its big BoD/RC joint rules teleconfab.  I fought hard for leaving well enough alone and won some small concessions.

By my count we are only making about 20 unnecessary changes to the rules.  Oh, well.  Here is a butterfly disc I did recently:

This is the "true" Monarch.  I'm not certain how well it scanned because this monitor is kind of crappy, and scanning is not really the best way to do this, but the wing tips are yellow and the red parts are red.  I did this one with a custom designed and cut sticker that was 52 pieces.  

I like femmy designs because then you get to chat with the chick players!  But this time it is Pluister who gets the babe magnet disc.  

When my black dye thickens up a little I'm going to try doing a couple of monarchs free hand using horsehair brushes because then I'll feel like I'm really doing art.  Right now it is more like a fun craft.

If you would like to buy this for someone special on your Christmas list, it is Pluister's, but he would be fine with me selling it for him and giving him cash.  I would have to check with Pluister on the price.
