*Because you can't spell "crafts"
...without CATS!
Originally obtained from Anthropologie (yes, they even sell pretty playthings) these two stuffed kittens in the “Quatre Souers Chatons” toy line by Maileg were given a rehaul with the likenesses of Nishi (the blue-eyed female) and Nico (the smoky grey male) whom I was responsible for while their parents, Erica & Jimmy, were in Berlin this past month. Both were simply the color of rather neutral cotton that I coordinated & adapted to each with acrylic paint from Blick Art Materials. Note the two pink & gold washi tape nipples on belly of the girl cat figure — she shows them off in that loose floral skirt!
Incidentally, while Nico was “bleh” about his, Nishi did *not* feel comfortable around her version. I was afraid she might think it was a quasi voodoo doll but she very likely simply doesn’t respond well to the acrylics, as the figure may well carry a paint odor to it? I’ll try not to take it personally!
