Black Cat Dotee

I made this little guy for the current Dotee Swap. I’ve been digging Juliette Crane’s art and techniques recently and when my partner had “black cats” listed on her Q I knew I wanted to try to do one in that style.

I decided to do a painting on fabric and then stitch it up. Here’s the painting before becoming a dotee:

It has a layer of gel medium over the paint to keep things from smudging and there are yarn and fabric dangly parts:

I attached the loop with a wooden button and signed the back:

Nice to take your art lessons to a different level! I am definitely going to have to try this style…I just love the layers on the faces! You also captured a sweet expression.

Awww! I love how the face is a heart shape and there are subtle pink cheeks. The light shade of blue above the eyes is lovely. It’s just darling–lucky partner!

Love how you started with a painting on flat fabric before turning it into a 3D dotee. Cool!
