Week 63 - Lion Rampant Pendant and Brooch

Where are you going?

Hello, humans and cats.
Are you enjoying the weekend?
I am a wee bit worrying about this weeks project. Normally, M does cat crafting on Saturday.  But M went out today.  Can I update this blog?  Yes?

All right, according to M, she has already made something on the last Thursday.  Thursday was an Anzac day and a public holiday in New Zealand.  She was off and had a plenty of time to make something.  Whew.

Well, let's have a look at this week's project.

Lion Rampant Pendant and Brooch

M made a heraldry like pendant head and a brooch using polymer clay and Brush'n Leaf paint.  She likes Prince Rupert of the Rhine (1619-1682) and these items are inspired by his heraldry.  However, she doesn't know the exact heraldry of Prince Rupert.  It is a guess work.  But, who is Prince Rupert?

The left photo is what M made five years ago.  About 1:16 scale of Prince Rupert and his dog, Boy.  It is made with polymer clay.

I am checking the details.

Week 62 - Cute Cat Barrettes

Hello everybody and every cat.  How are you today?  It is drizzling all day and cold here in Christchurch.  I am enjoying curled-up on M's lap, although M doesn't seem to be comfortable.

By the way, I read the news that the cat who addicted to McDonald's.  Frankie the cat was dumped when he was kitten and he survived with begging burger patty or nuggets at the McDonald's drive-through.  Fortunately, after one year's survive, the SPCA officer found and rescued him.  Unfortunately, he looked swollen and matted with poor diet.  And he didn't accept normal kitty diet.  But now he put through rehab and gets used to cat biscuits.  This is a story from the Waikato Times in New Zealand.

Well, let's have a look this week's project, shall we?  This week, M made two different types of barrettes.

Cute Cat Barrettes

  One is put six polymer clay cats on the fake suede decorated with blanket stitch.  The other is put antique gold colour cat charms and blue Rhine stones on the fake leather.

Oh dear.  I'm not in these cats.

Week 61 - Gorgeous Purse with a Cat Appliqué

Hi everybody!  How are you ?  I am Daisy, featuring cat crafts every week.  Sixty weeks have past since M and I started this blog.  More than sixty projects have done.  Never be the same.  Sometimes similar, though.

This week's project is similar to the past one.  A purse using a frame clasp.  M made a pink panther purse in the last November.  It is slightly smaller in this time and the design is quite different.

Gorgeous Purse with a Cat Appliqué

She made this with khaki linen and cotton lace.  To make this purse as a cat craft, she drew me on calico and sewed on it.

Cat Charm

The frame clasp itself is 12 cm.  The cat is drawn with Versacraft stamp ink.  Attached a leather handle with a cat charm.

I like the smell of this leather.

Week 60 - Hanging Cat Hanger

Hello, everybody.  Daisy's blog is updating.  Daylight saving time is ending in this weekend at last.

I'm relaxing on the back of a chair.

 Bye-bye summer and hello autumn.   Today is a little bit cold and cloudy all day in Christchurch.  Typical autumn day.

M was busy to make something for this week's project.  Typical Saturday.

What is this week's project?  She recycled an old coat hanger.

Hanging Cat Hanger

This coat hanger is quite old and the fabric is faded.  But it is still okay to use.  So she decided to change the fabric and just add a cat craft touch.

Hanging Cat

The cat tries to catch fish.

The cat is detachable. 

The cat is filled with polyester fibre scented by essential oil.  It keeps clothes smelling fresh every time when you use.

I'm checking the fish part.

This cat is smelly. (Not me)
