If only Hedda Gabler could do Headers.
In my constant search for finding some way to make a small dent in my FET fund I keep coming back to doing something that I enjoy. Something that is satisfying and creative and interactive and ever-changing. And then I became a bit obsessed with changing the art in my header. Like crazy obsessed.
Now I won’t say that I am some rock star header designer (yet), but I enjoy it. It is therapeutic. Which made me wonder if I could whore myself out for header art love. Back in the early years of blogging I remember how we all griped about templates and finding something unique and sassy. I remember finding out that someone had the same blogger template that I did and getting wicked depressed about it.
But now I have art editing software and plenty of time and I want to flex this muscle and see if it takes me anywhere. Two things to know: I will work for cheap, and I will work with fun. I am currently working with a certain blogger on creating a new header image for her, but I wanted to know if anyone else might want my arty-farty skillz. Let’s talk about it.

Got something to say?











Yay!! Fun!!
Loving the new, new header by the way! I don’t know why turning the pic around makes a difference, but it does.
Wait, the post headers are gone. Where’d they disappear to?
I am interested! I am bored with my design. (Hah, what design?)
I could dig some new header art sometime soon. I just came up with my current one a month ago, so it’s still kinda newish. But once the newness wears off, I’ll know where to come!!
Hey! I, for one, love your headers. Definitely willing to talk.
It should say “Want head(er)?” because…well because I’m a dirty girl, that’s why.
Color me in. I’ll need major guidance, though. I have no ideas for what I want.
I want new header art! I took this off a web search and 1) people have mistaken it for a partridge or quail and 2) copyright issues?
I want a new image that shows that it is a pheonix and if it can be transplanted into a tattoo design all the better
Oh my lord…I have been asking for such a thing for ages. I’d certainly be willing to get good head(er), let me know what I’d need to do and how much I’d need to pay.
Oh. Emm. Gee. Just last night I was fiddling with my blog layout for HOURS. Have you seen it today? Yep. Nothin’s changed. I can’t find any other layouts that work with all my widgets and whose-y-fudgets. Talk about a waste of time!
Sign me up for some bad ass header art, please!
I’m interested–what’s cheap?
I’m definately willing to pay for some header art. My blog header is as boring. Heck, my whole blog template is boring. I could use some livening up!
I really need a good template - and I am hopeless at such things. I’d love to talk to you about it and if I were contributing in some small way to your fund-to-have-a-baby all the better. email me!
Hmm, I may be interested in a little while. Let me get my head quiet first.
Can blogger easily have new header art? I don’t love my blogger template but it is oh so easy to move things around with their program…. but i might be interested..
I would definitely like to chat about new header art! Count me in!
I’d be up for some new header art. I have to change my header photo every so often anyway ’cause I get bored with things staying the same. And you do good art!
I would love that. I did a semi-crappy job when I made mine.
You have had some neat header designs as I recall. Shame wordpress won’t allow me to play with mine,
J
Marvelous !!!
Where do I sign up ?
If I had a blog you would be the first person I would call. I can’t wait to see all the headers you design!!! Kristine
I want *everyone* to have cool new headers (preferably created by you). Because the standard templates are not only boring, but they confuse (dum) people like me, who can’t remember which of the zillion bloggers with the same template they’re in the course of reading.
I don’t think you can get more boring and generic than mine.
And, sadly (or not), it hasn’t bothered me a bit. I’d be willing to talk depending on price and all since I expect to be operating in the red for a year or two soon. I think you stop in every now and again so maybe you have a feel for some appropriate creativity? (and know just how boring and generic my blog is) …as I don’t really have any good ideas or passion around it either for that matter so probably wouldn’t be that great in the idea/requirements department. What would say…$100 get me? Deb
Do you do the backgrounds? I can’t figure out how to change mine…
Hey, Cali, Pearl has tagged BG with a meme.
Just saw the header you did for Jen! Gorgeous! Would love a new header!
Oh! I REALLY want a new header!!! PLease please please contact me!
I’ve been wanting a new header or something snazzy for ye old blog for awhile now although I have some ideas of what I would want it to look like, I’ve been unable to figure out how to do it myself. I like what you’ve done for Pru, so I would be interested- drop me a line!

Greetings. I’ve lurked here occasionally, but am now back as I see you doing fabulous blog headers for some other blogs I read. I’m in need of something, but not sure what yet — I like the newspaper-y clean feel of the Lydia Valentine blog and will need to root around my photo collection (or environs, avec camera) to hit inspiration.
BUT, if you could tell me firstly, can I do this in blogger and if so, which template can/can’t I use? If I pay you more $ will you assist me in moving over to wordpress and getting things like a tag cloud?
Much obliged. My boring blog thanks you.
I’m interested!! Let me know when your not bogged down!!
xxoo
Need header art here. i’ve got both a family photo blog & a knitting blog that need better headers and I am clueless. Neither is used much because the templates are so boring I’m embarrassed. Help me please!
Pick me - pick me! I want a header
Let me know when you have some time, I am open to ideas 
I’m definitely interested in a new header and I’m loving your style. Looks like I’m pretty far down the list–contact me when you’ve got the time. Thanks!
Oh, count me in! I desperately need help with my header. I just started a new blog, and I’ve been trying to get the template to do what I want, without luck. I can’t see myself learning HTML code just to get the dang thing to work. Help!!
I assume you’re still doing these even though you’ve reached your total? I mean, there’s always that one tube of crinone you didn’t think you’d need…
Got a queue at the moment?

I’m debating a full-on new look, not just a header, but I’m totally thinking I may get in this line…
I would love new headers or change in blog look for either one of my blogs or both!
I’ve seen many of your headers around and love them.
Proud to be a part of the Uterus Brigade . . . :0)
Cheers!
Me! Me! Me!
I want a header

I love PJ’s new header. We don’t know each other - although I have lurked here a few times - but if you are willing to help, I could use it. I am horrible - I just use a blogger out-of-the-box template. Donations to you or the next person on the list - whichever you prefer.
I am interested in something new for my blog. My borring old blogger template got old quite a while ago but I have absolutely NO artistic skills so I have not been able to do anything with it.
Hey Calliope! I’d also like a new header to freshen up my blog. Right now it’s so two-toned…I like what I have now, but you have mad skillz an in comparison to your work, what I have is so PLAIN. How can I be down with a one of a kind masterpiece by Calliope?
I’d love a whole new look. I’m so un-tech-y that i have an off the peg Blogger style. I’d love something a bit different. Maybe something a bit “London” whatever that means and something that reflects what I do - cooking and food writing?
ok so now that I’m a bit more settled, I would love a header for my blog. I admit though that I don’t really know what I want. I just want something to look better and different than it does now.
Please– contact me to do a new header?? I am a good friend of Hamilton Family Cicus (heather) and I am loving hers!!!
Please email me! I cannot wait!
I’m in the process of moving to a new blog to regain some anonymity. I’d love to create a whole new look with it. And if I can add to your FET fund in the process I’d be thrilled, as an FET with donor embryos was how we finally succeeded.
feel free to email me at sparklykatt@yahoo.com
um, this is the answer to my creatively-challenged prayers! Please help me!
I love the header you did for fiber fish, it’s great! I met her at Sock Camp. I am definitely interested in a cool header, I don’t like the template. Please talk to me when you get some time!
Oooh me too please. Mine is just standard Blogger and I feel the need for something that little bit more.
Now that I’ve moved my header needs refreshing. I would like to buy a new one for my wordpress blog http://averyopenbook.wordpress.com/
I am keeping my blogger so I will have two.
Cali you are one patient women!
Yes, I am interested in a header to assist with FET fundraising! How can I get started?
Looking forward,
Katie
Please email me when you have the time. I would love to have a header.
Thanks.
Melissia
I’m definately interested in a header… I have a very boring blog right now…
Can we talk? Paige
A comment on my blog directed me to you. I am in DIRE need of a new header. When you have time, drop me an email!
Cynthia
Help me Calliope! You emailed me after I expressed an interest in having you build me a header. Something awful has happened to all of my mailboxes on my Mail program and I lost your response. Can you please email me again? I have been thinking about what I want on it, something yarn-y for sure.
Hi — just launched a new blog and am dying for one of your brilliant headers. Would you please email me as soon as possible? I have some initial ideas, though I’m sure you can help improve on them significantly. Thanks!
