PSYCHEDELIC CAT
I had great fun today, folding my pet out of paper. Here is how I did it:
Step 1
I am a colouring in fanatic. I never know what I should do with my old "artworks". Today I found a use. I took a mandala that I coloured in awhile ago and folded it in half, then drew the outline of the cat.
My pets were (un)willing participants in the project. Here is our German Shorthaired Pointer, Giblet:
Step 2
Then I cut her out:
Our Italian Greyhound, Yoda, playing background:
Step 3
Then I folded her in strategic places and cut out her snout through both sides of the paper:
Our Siamese, Soekie, a little bit confused about the creature in her space:
Step 4
The final touch: adding a moustache with thin white paper and, using a white milk pen, highlighting her eyes.
And Dobby, our other Italian Grey, allowing Minnalouse (of course) to cuddle with him.
Et voila!
I found my inspiration in a book by Dette Kim, called "Papierkuns" (paper art).

She also refers to some other fantastic challenges, and I sort of want to make it my goal to participate in most, if not all, of the challenges.
