Week 11 - Falling Cat 3D Picture

Hi.  How are you?  Here in New Zealand is autumn.  The calm and fine weather these days.  I enjoy napping in sunshine in daytime and eating crunchy biscuits in the dark kitchen at night.  This week, M was doing something with air-dry clay and a canvas.  Clay sculpture or picture?  What?  Both?

Well, she made a 3D picture which you don't need those bizarre glasses.

It is famous that cats can land on their feet.
















We can survive but please do not try to examine your cat.

This cat looks like me.

Week 10 - Leopard Necklace

Hello everybody!  Daisy is here.  I heard that animal print is this season's trend.  Tiger and leopard are always popular.  They are very fashionable and elegant.  I am proud of being their relative.
This week M made a leopard necklace and earrings.

These beads are made with polymer clay using millefiore technique.  Photo below, the left; a ball of solid clay, the centre; the ball that applied the slices of cane,  the right; the ready to bake ball that rolled and sealed the edges of the cane slices.

Leopard is good.  My tabby pattern is better.

Week 9 - Purbie Doll

Hi.  Daisy again.  How are you today?  One week has past so quickly.
By the way, who is your favourite cat character?  Garfield?  Hello Kitty?  Or Felix the Cat?  This week's project is so exciting.  New star has just arrived in the cat's world.

I would like to proudly introduce you Purbie Doll.

 

This doll has an armature inside, so she can stand, sit and pose.  She has blue eyes, wearing black dress, fake fur animal print jacket and leather boots.

Hello, I am Purbie.
Nice jacket, isn't it?
 
 See you next week.

Week 8 - CAT ON BOARD plate

Happy Easter!  How are you enjoying this long weekend?  Me?  I am enjoying sunshine.  M is staying at home and seems to think about next project.  Lots of people are travelling during this weekend.  I don't like travel, especially by car.  It is terrible.  How human and dogs can enjoy in such a tiny, noisy and shaky place? However, at least once a year I have to ride on a car to go to vet or boarding cattery.  With a cat, it is difficult for cat lovers to drive as usual.  You would like to go slow for your cat, but you don't want to irritate the driver behind.  Well, this week's project may solve such a dilemma.

All you need for this project is one sheet of shrink film, a suction cap, computer and printer.  Easy.
