Too tired for lots of words right now, but I didn't want to deprive you of pictures ;)
Firstly, a big thank you goes out to Women's Studio Workshop!

it started by carving the top small (about 8 x 8" )... |
then I it got bigger (a very nice job registering these 6 plates onto one sheet - thumbs up!) |
then painting and refinement with ink and color pencils |
ahhhhh - a beautiful art-moment |
all together now... |
but she was lonely... |
no worries |
that's what flying rats are for ;) |
I did get out of the studio a little though |
taking in some nature |
and I got a Christmas tree for my feline assistants (good human). |
After rubbing her face on it, Jr. quickly brought over her favorite toy and stationed herself to guard both toy and tree simultaneously (she is a very clever kitty). |
and I baked gingerbread kitties |
combining two of my favorites things in to one fragrant and delectable morsel. |
