Finished? |
So is he finished? Well, no. I'd always had A Plan for spicing up the bland background behind the kitten and now's the time to see if the plan will work.
Step One: Jane grabs her purse and car keys, and heads to the local crafts emporium. She hunts high and low, then squeaks with joy when she finds Just the Thing. ON SALE! [Yes, like the Spinster Stitcher I'm probably going to have to wait until this blows over and the cashiers forget me before setting foot in that crafts emporium again.]
Jane comes home and takes the Pirate Cat off the stretcher bars, then finds her color copy of the canvas, breaks out the goodies from the crafts emporium and this is what she ends up with.
Finished NOW? |

I love the added color and whimsy. Great job, Jane.
Thanks, Robin. I know you have a Pirate Cat at your house right now. I can just see him dressed up Trick or Treating (as a doctor or patient perhaps?) LOL
But knowing you like this since you are a cat and Halloween fan, means a lot. You are an expert, so to speak!
What a difference the gems make! Inspired!

Thanks, Nancy. I didn't stop with crystals, though. I ran wild! Details tomorrow....
Loving him the way he is!
GLITZ! Yippee and it looks wonderful!
Very cute! Why did you take it off the bars to add the crystals?
Nancy, I wanted to press down hard to attach the crystals to the canvas and I also wanted to put something heatproof underneath the canvas to protect my work surface, so off the stretcher bars it came. I didn't have anything heatproof that would fit underneath the canvas while it was on stretcher bars.
