Made for @geekgirl in the recent Inchie Dice Swap. I was instantly drawn to her “board games” theme, but then couldn’t get Clue out of my head. The suspects and weapons just fit the 6-face dice so perfectly. When the time came to draw faces, however, I panicked and they became cats. I cannot claim that the idea is entirely mine. Inspiration came from these cards I found randomly online.
Inspired by the watercolor class @jemimah taught, I made a template for the cat shape, and then embellished from there. Of course, once I committed to the Cat Clue theme, the weapons had to be cat-ized as well!
So, what do you think? Was it Mrs. Purrcock with the claws:
I’ve never really done inchies before and the size was both manageable and daunting at first, but ended up being really fun! I will definitely be keeping an eye out for this swap in the future.
I had visions of a pouch that opened into a cat-themed game board. A big litter box room, a room full of cat trees, a cushion in a ray of sunlight…but that was beyond the scope of the swap and my desired level of time commitment!
