For the felt badge swap, i made @geekgirl a badge for her “cats & whisky” theme. I decided it had to be a bottle of a good island Scotch. And thus, it had to be a Scots cat too! I couldn’t make a Scottish Wild Cat distinctive enough, so went with a general tan cat. Of course he has a kilt, with a sporran, and i used vinyl for the bottle. And off he heads across the highlands, taking some lovely scotch to a friend.
This is absolutely gorgeous! Your cat design, his expression, the tail and his arms wrapping around the bottle. Of course, the kilt is sweet! You did not add too much to your design. It’s simplicity is what makes it exquisite. I think you free-handed your cat design. Great drawing and great work!
I was initially thinking Laphroaig. Kitty could own a tiny piece of Scotland then and have a miniscule picnic on it. That green you used in the background is a good contrast to the red kilt. And those whiskers! Am I seeing things or is the kilt checkered?
I think it’s houndstooth, a very distinctive pattern that I like.
Houndstooth, hounds tooth check or hound’s tooth, also known as dogstooth, dogtooth, dog’s tooth, is a duotone textile pattern characterized by broken checks or abstract four-pointed shapes, traditionally in black and white or such contrasting dark and light pattern. ~ Wiki
He looks like he really doesn’t want to give up the bottle of Scotch!
Congrats! Your adorable Cat in Kilt Felt Badge is a Featured Project this week!
