Cat Art

Cat Art Sunday postet unsere Freundin Miss Peach jeden Sonntag. Von ihr ist auch dieses kunstvoll gestempelte Tag. Our friend Miss Peach posted every Sunday her Cat Art Sunday . This artfully stamped Tag is from her mom.
Cat ART von unseren Katzen auf der leicht verschneiten Terrasse. Cat ART from our cats in the backyard.
Cat Art ist die Fellmaus aus dem letzten Post aber es ist keine Kunst sie zu machen. Man benötigt nur Wolle zum Filzen eine Filznadel und etwas Katzenhaar vom bürsten. Cat Art is the Fur mousie from the last post but you must be no artist to make it. You need some felting wool, a felting needle and a little cat hair from the brush. We use Lunas hair because it is the longest.
Die Filzwolle zusammendrehen und so lange mit der Filznadel hineinstechen bis es anfängt zusammen zu filzen. Das geht ganz schnell. Unterlage sollte dick sein ( z.B.gelber Putzschwamm)
Form the felting wool into a Ball and stitch the needle into the wool until it starts to felt. Use a thick surface (maybe a cleaning sponge)
Beim Filzen eine Maus formen und immer wieder etwas Katzenfell unterfilzen. Ein Band für den Schwanz miteinfilzen (hält gut) Man könnte auch Öhrchen dranfilzen, aber das spielen die Katzen ab. Max behauptet übrigens man könnte so eine Maus auch nur aus ( gereinigtem) Fell filzen. Dann müsste man das Fell aber sammeln.
During you felt form a mouse and put with the needle a little cat hair on the felting wool. Don´t forget the tail (a thread) You also can felt little ears but the cats don´t play careful and the mouse lose the ears after a few minutes. Max means you can maybe use only ( cleaned) cat hair for a mouse. You must collect the brushed hair.
Cat Hair recycling ?

Happy felting !
Viel Spass beim filzen !!!

How cool is that? Our new "Kat" would love one of those. She is used to being outside, but now she loves the coziness of being inside with us. Spring will be a different story.
Happy New Year

Great art!! Love the cat prints.

Thanks for the felting how-to! The PM is digging out her wool this afternoon. She also got a neat felting mat that looks like a big square brush.

Have a great week!

My furs are too short, but my fur would make a nice sweater but you would have to wait a long time.

The mousie is very cute and I adorrrre MissPeachie's mom artistic print!
You and Karla have such great talent with stamping. I love it!!

the paw prints are beautiful, like lace in the snow. Here we have had snow bits from the sky but nothing on the ground. We are hoping for a raging snowstorm on January 20 here in the "Washington area" perfect for the inaguration of our silly new president (we do not like him)

Mom needs to make Pierro some mousies. He loves them.

Purrs and love to all of you

Cat Art Sunday in your house now too? SO cool! I love the picture of Edith Holdens book on the January page and it is fun to read some of it in German. Did you know that this is my favorite book and I bought it in 1978!! I also have my coffee set and dinner set from this pattern.... and now you sent me the beautiful bookmarker calendar! I love that so much!! Now I will not miss any German holidays...I have forgotten many of them but not anymore. Last night I spent photographing all of the swap things you sent me and when I did the calender bookmarkers....guess what? Yes, I used my EH book and opened it to the January page just like you did on this post....we are sisters for sure Stefanie!
I can not believe that makin a fellmaus is easy as you say it is...with just poking a needle...incredible!? It looks like a real maus. Luna could be rich if you sold those on ebay and keep the household in cat food!
It has been a fun visit here today and I left many comments....
I hope you are all well and that life is good for you...
