Cat on a bed!

Cat on a bed! Cat on a bed! Cat on a bed! Cat on a bed!

This was an interesting challenge – the lady asked for cats in the colours of her daughter’s real cats, she wanted them on a bed with ‘vintage’ bedding. I’d never made cats (or beds, rugs, slippers etc) before so was quite excited. If I’m honest I’m not happy with the cats, the colours really are similar to the real ones but I made them shiny which, well looks wrong to me!! Never mind, have learned from that mistake. As for the bed etc – wow got a bit carried away, love the frame (all sugarpaste with tylose), the bedside table and pillows are rice crispy treats covered in sugarpaste. The flowers and wording are handpainted (another first for me) and the slippers and fluffy white towel were, well just for fun!! Oh and the board was my first go at a wood effect and airbrushed!

I loved this, thought it was great fun and wouldn’t mind some bedding looking like that!!! Apparently the lady’s daughter was speechless and absolutely loved it so the shiny cats weren’t a problem!!!!
