14 Nov 11 - 10:57 AM (#3256814) Subject: BS: Thank you, Mrs. Morse! From: SINSULL A while back I won an auction here on Mudcat for a shawl or afghan of my choice. It arrived over the weekend and is amazing. Four panels, two off white/two chocolate. In each panel is the portrait of one of my kitties - Alice in full color with her curly tail, Ed glaring menacingly while looking like a cuddly pussycat, chubby Liz in white and black and of course Freddie with his curly tail and tiger stripes. Their eyes are the most intriguing part - each kitty is there. I can't imagine how many hours went into this. It needs to be dated and signed. I have visions of Antique Road Show 3012 with someone citing Mudcat and the date to authenticate the provenance of this original Jacqui creation. Thank you, Jacqui. It is beyond beautiful. Mary |

15 Nov 11 - 12:26 PM (#3257549) Subject: RE: BS: Thank you, Mrs. Morse! From: Jack the Sailor I'm not sure saying "Here! Take this beautiful, custom made shawl." is everyone's idea of bossy. I am getting very impatient about the picture. THIS is bossy!! SINSULL!!! Take the bloody picture!!!!! And POST it ASAP!!!! ;-) I want to see how she rendered your kittens. |

15 Nov 11 - 12:29 PM (#3257551) Subject: RE: BS: Thank you, Mrs. Morse! From: jacqui.c I've sent a couple of photos to Joe for publication. This one took quite a while - getting the cats right was a major concern. Alice, as could be expected, was the real problem (Who knew?) Her colouring was difficult to match and, as Mary said to me, it looks as if she has been doused with multi-coloured paint, making getting the markings anywhere near right a nightmare. In spite of the fact that, with hindsight, I could have made a better job of it I must admit that I was pleased with the finished result. Now we just have to hope that Alice doesn't take offence and pee all over it........... |

18 Nov 11 - 08:44 AM (#3259308) Subject: RE: BS: Thank you, Mrs. Morse! From: SINSULL That's because you can only spin gold out of straw. Now get back down the CELLAR! and behave. |

18 Nov 11 - 10:44 AM (#3259375) Subject: RE: BS: Thank you, Mrs. Morse! From: jacqui.c Thanks for the compliments. The afghan base was made quite some time ago but had to sit and wait for the cross stitching to be done as I had no idea how I was going to get reasonable facsimiles of the cats, even though I had photos. It took quite a while before I really felt comfortable starting that work. I'm just happy that Mary was pleased. |

We have one cat who truly loves her "mommy" so we're quite familiar with the mannerism. John |
