Photo Shoot

Photography 101 - Be sure your subject is not wearing a lampshade.


But what do you do when it is cold and rainy at the beach and your subject insists on wearing a lampshade to stay warm.

Quilting

Cats are so easy to please ---- they never care if a quilt is finished or not.

Bria

I just don't understand why Auntie Shell thinks I'm a high strung Siamese cat......isn't a picture worth a thousand words ----- surely I'm a laid back cat.

Bria

Drawing Bria's fur presented a whole new set of challenges. Her fur is satin smooth and really reflects light, unlike Maggie's fur which seems to absorb it.

"Flat Feet"

This is an interesting "ball" of yarn. Sections were done on a knitting machine and then hand dyed. The idea is that with the two panels (joined with a waste yarn) there is enough for a pair of socks. My two cats are not in agreement about this yarn. One thinks this is the best ball she has ever seen ---- a ready made blanket to sleep under while I knit. And the other, she can't seem to figure out how she is going to make a run for it with the panel in her mouth. Of course, that hasn't stopped her from trying.

I'm using the yarn to knit a donation hat and have adapted a Selbu knitting pattern for the design.
