Week 85 - Art Nouveau like Illustration

Hello humans and kitties.  How's your weekend ?  It starts daylight saving time tomorrow in New Zealand.  The clock goes one hour forward.  With my tummy clock daylight saving has already started since a couple days ago...

This week, M challenged to the Art Nouveau painting.  It sounds like a big work.  No, not so great.  She just made a parody of Alphonse Mucha's work.

   The base of painting is Mucha's famous 'Sarah Bernhardt'.  M changed Sarah Bernhardt to me, lilies to daisies, and stars to fish.

The finish

  According to M, Sarah Bernhardt (1844-1923) was a great Parisian actress who influenced many famous artists.  Alphonse Mucha (1860-1939) was one of them.

Is this me?

See you next week.

Week 84 - Birdie Catnip Sachet

Hi everybody.  What are you up to?  It was raining in Christchurch this morning, but now it is clear.  The Kowhai tree in front of the window put yellow brooms and birds seems to enjoy them.  Is my life looks boring?  No.  I had a exciting thing today.  M made something to me.  Guess what?  She made a cute birdie.  Inside catnip fascinates me.

Birdie Catnip Sachet

It is a kind of scratching post decoration, however it can be used as a catnip toy.  It is made from cotton.  The beak is felt and the tail is grosgrain dot ribbon.  Homemade dried catnip is inside.

Sorry, I was so excited that I almost forgot my work. 

Week 83 - Kitty Ballet Pop Up Card

Hi every humans and kitties.  Are you enjoying the weekend?  M sowed cat grass seeds in this week and I am looking forward to it grown.  I have already had a pot of cat grass, but it is definitely not enough.

Today, M was doing something with papers.  She seemed to be struggled with drawing.  Well, here is this week's project.

This is an invitation from Royal Kitty Ballet Team

Open it !

You may remember that M made a 'Royal Kitty Ballet in Snow Globe' a few months ago.  Here they come again.  And again, the tortoiseshell cat on the left is grooming.

I checked the structure.

See you next week.

Week 82 - Wired Hanging Bottle

Hello everyone.  How is your weekend going?  I enjoyed being chased by M this afternoon.  It was fun and good exercise.  I like being chased.  M seemed to be annoyed because I only like being chased, not chasing.

This week M was doing something with wire and a bottle.  And finished work is this.

Wired Hanging Bottle

The project itself was not so difficult, but she was struggling to take the picture.  The glass reflects the light.
There are four wire cats around the base.  She glued them with clear resin.

I checked while the glue drying.

                                               

See you next week.
