Calico Cat – Calvin, the Crafty

martita — Thu, 22 Sep 2022 14:00:31 +0000

This calico cat looks straight at you from his place on the wall. Calvin’s trying to decide if it’s time to meow loudly so you know just how hungry he is. However, don’t let those innocent eyes fool you. Calvin is an extremely crafty calico cat. He knows his bowl is full, however a extra treat or two would be greatly appreciated. He’s contemplating whether or not he could convince you with one meow or two.

Meow, meow, meow. I knew he wouldn’t wait very long.

All works have been handmade by me in my smoke-free home. From the initial painting of the eyes as part of The #100dayproject Challenge through cutting the fur from fabric scraps and sewing them down on specially selected background, this work of art evolved over time into the colorful piece it is. While for some, the abstract nature of the Faces Collection may seem quirky, my intent was to create works where the spirit and essence of each animal shone through its eyes.

Size: 10″ x 8” (26 x 20 cm) mounted on canvas with wire for hanging
Material: Cotton and batik fabrics, canvas, thread, wooden shim and wire for hanging
Care: Light vacuuming or touch up with sticky roller. Detailed care instructions enclosed with each piece.
Shipping: Will be shipped via USPS Priority Mail/Insured.

This grey cat portrait captures the piercing look of Mazie, the hunter. She is contemplating when to pounce on that pile of leaves that shifts back and forth in the breeze. Since Mazie frequently slinks around from room to room, keep a watchful eye on her. She plans each of her hunts carefully and is quick in her movements. She is out the door before you even know she’s missing. Cat – 1; Leaf – 0.

Brown Cat Portrait – Pete, the Planner

This brown cat portrait of Pete, the Planner shows off his grey nose streak and his sparkling eyes. The fact that this mottled brown cat is staring straight ahead is not an indication that he doesn’t want any “pets”. Rather his strategy is “If I appear not interested, maybe I’ll get a treat of a head-scratch or belly rub.” In addition, Pete plans to walk around your feet twice and then plop down facing the opposite direction. Would that plan lure you in?

This canvas-mounted 8 x 10” fabric picture could be perfect for right over your desk or that small corner in the living room. It comes ready to hang with hooks and wire on the back. All you need to do is find its place for this brown cat portrait in your apartment or home.

All my work is handmade and the animals in the Faces Collection all have hand-painted eyes. My intent is to bring forth the spirit within each one. Pete’s brothers and sisters reside here.
