Drunk Space Cat

Fiber & Textile Completed Projects

I made this for the inspiring geekgirl in the Santa Sack Swap. Her themes of “cats in space” and “cats with whiskey” are so fun I decided to combine them.

I painted the space background on a plain piece of muslin, masking off the edge. But because I couldn’t get a perfect masked circle, I wasn’t happy with the resulting lines, so I decided to add the silver fabric frame. I think it gives it a fun retro feel!

The cat image was pulled from the internet and appliqued on in felt. I gave him a space bubble to add to the space vibes, even though it’s not at all accurate. :laughing:

Here’s a slightly different angle to see the plastic for the bubble a little better:

I had to tell my family the name of your project, and then — of course! — they wanted to see it. So funny! Purrrfect mash-up of those themes.

I love different ways to finish off a hoop, so you really delivered with the silver wrap!

So fun! And I really like the label on the back! Which I know is random, but I appreciate when swap crafts are signed so, YEARS from now, my feeble brain can remember who made what.

Once upon a time, a fellow LCer cough @AIMR cough encouraged me to sign my crafts and I do my best to make sure I do so!

What a fun mash-up of themes! When I first saw the pics, I fell in love with that space fabric and wondered where you found it. Then to read that you made it!? :open_mouth: Beautiful work!!

I did make it! I should have taken progress pics but was too “in the zone” I guess.
