catty needle felting

I just finished my first needle felting project! It was a kit from my friend DB. Thanks, babe! It was fun!

The kit was for a gray cat, but I decided to adapt it to look like my own kitty Nemorino (Nemo).

Stephen's wig

Remember my cat I was mentioning in a previous post, who likes to mess with things and knock things off of the desk? Only minutes after posting that, I noticed that Surprise Stephen's wig was missing. It had been on a high shelf that the cat had never taken interest in before, never! So I had thought it was safe. But no.

After doing a whirlwind cleaning job to try to find it, I finally tracked it down under the scratching post.

I would think it was funny and Stephenish - if it hadn't taken me something like 6-8 hours to make the little thing.

Tomorrow, I'll set up the Scat Mat on the desk. This is the last straw!

Surprise!

I finished my Surprise Family! (Jack, Stephen, Sophie, Diana.)

Disclaimer: I did not make the bodies. I just dressed and adorned them They're just standard little wooden manikins. (Where did the spelling "manikin" come from? What happened to "mannequin"? Anyway, these are called 4 1/2" wood "manikins.") (My art supply store was having a huge going-out-of-business sale, and they were only $2.50 each! How could I resist???)

Surprise!!!

( Click! Pics! )

ETA: As a joke, I made Stephen a temporary wig out of my cat's fur, but when I tried to photograph him wearing it, the cats became very interested. In fact, Nemo ended up carrying it off in his mouth and destroying it. I didn't mind.
