Week 102 - Black vs. White Tic-Tack-Toe

Hi everybody.  How are you?  One month has already past since Christmas.  Can you believe it?  It's so quick.  In New Zealand, students are still enjoying the summer holiday.  Everywhere in town is still holiday mode.  I am always holiday mode.

This week, M made a quick and easy board game - Tic-tack-toe!  Long time ago, she made an cat Othello game.  This time the pieces are 3D.

Black vs.White Tic-Tack-Toe

These cats are made with polymer clay.  One grid of the board is 3 cm.  To keep them safely, M made a small string bag as well.

This bag is made by black and white fabric and each side has cat silhouette which M drew by fabric paint.

Each team has five cats.  And five different poses.  I can see one cat is licking her/his bottom.  Embarrassing, isn't it?  What?  .... M told me that the model of cats is me!  Too embarrassing.

I am checking the embarrassing one.

See you next week!

Week 101 - Porcelain Painting - Kitty Ballet

Hello every human and cat.  Thanks for everybody, the 101st week has started.

When I got up around midday today, my human friend M was baking something in a oven.  She sometimes bakes cake or muffins and the sweet smell in the room as it is baked.  But there wasn't any smell today.  It doesn't seem to be food.  Then, what did she bake?

Well, it seems to be this week's project in the oven.  Let's have a look, shall we?

Porcelain Painting

She bought plain $1 mug and plate this week and decided to make an original dish for herself.

Painted with the special markers and baked the dish to make the picture permanent.

M's rough sketch

If you are familiar with this blog, you may remember 'Royal Kitty Ballet Team', as they appear sometimes in this blog.  M decided Kitty Ballet as the theme of this project.  However, M doesn't have much knowledge about ballet.  She found the basic ballet position and let the cats do it.

The first position and the second position.

The third position and the fourth position.

The fourth position and the fifth position.

Week 100 - Felted Kitten 'Daisy'

Ladies and gentlemen, cats and kittens, I, Daisy the cat proudly announce you that my blog 'Everyweek Cat Craft Project' has reached the 100th week.  One hundreds weeks, one hundreds projects.  It took nearly 15 years (in cat year).  I am very satisfied with this achievement.  And I am excited to show you the 100th work today.

My human friend, M made a needle felted kitten.  This kitten reminds me of my kittenhood.

Felted Kitten 'Daisy'

Surely M doesn't know my kittenhood, because she adopted me when I was two years old.  Apart from no tabby patch on the right arm, she is me!

M made each parts first and put together, then added more details.

Oh, hello.

Nice to meet you.

I feel strange...

Do not follow me, kid.

I still feel strange...

Thanks for 100 weeks.

See you next week!

Week 99 - Kitty Stamps

A Happy Meow Year!
It is 2014, and this year's first blog.
Last Christmas, M received a present from her friend in Japan.  Knowing M's taste, the friend sent a lot of goodies to M.  And one of them is an eraser for stamp making.  Therefore, M decided to make stamps using it.

Kitty and 'Thank You'  stamps

This eraser has two layers so that it is easy to carve.  Long time ago M made eraser stamps and made an original tag to sew on.  Eraser stamp is not so difficult to make and it is worth trying.

How to make an eraser stamp

You need : Eraser, Craft knife, Pencil (B or 2B), Tracing paper (Cooking paper will do), Paper, Ink pad, Cutting mat

1. Draw a picture.

2. Trace the picture with a pencil.
  If you don't have a tracing paper, you can use non stick cooking paper.  M used cooking paper.

3. Face a drawn side on the eraser and rub to transfer the picture.

4. Cut out the eraser.

5. Carve carefully.  You only carve where you want to be white.

M stamped them on an envelope.

I am checking the cat pattern.
