Art Neko

these two projects were made last year, for the Art Neko stamps challenge on RRA, which has only just been published.

this first one is a mini quilt using the Quilted Cat stamp, it's a little wallhanging, about 8" square, the stamp was coloured on the fabric with Prismacolor pencils


this is a different kind of wall plaque, using the stamp Oriental Horse, which was stamped onto black cardstock and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer embossing crystals and mounted onto a Stampbord oval,  the wings are grunge shapes painted with antique bronze crackle paint

Wow Nettie - these are fabulous. The mini quilt is wonderful, and has obviously been made with a great deal of love.
Hope you are well, and having better weather than the UK!!

Hi Nettie! Love the mini/quilt and cute cat! Stunning works as always!
Sorry your hubby is not feeling well. Wishing him a speedy recovery!
Thanks for the nice comment on my blog. Hot here too, rain last days which is wonderful. Dogs don't want to be out in the rain. :)
