New Faux Leather Creation

Introducing my new faux leather bag creation! The Wayfarer Purse above is made from a faux leather in saddle brown and has an ultrasuede cherry blossom applique in cream. I love this combination of texture and color.

There are two interior pockets to keep your things organized and it is fully lined in a cotton floral print fabric. More faux leather bags are coming to the Pesky Cat Designs shop very soon. Stay tuned!

The Pesky Cat's Day Dream

Katzenhohle by Dornroeschen Filzunikate I recently came across this incredible cat bed made by German artist Dornroeschen Filzunikate. This beautiful piece of functional art called a Katzenhohle , cat cave, is handmade of felted wool. It's definitely the most unique cat bed I have ever seen. It would bring a bit of nature into my urban NYC home.

An Etsy press agent recently informed me that the story aired April 15th and he also missed it. He said he is trying to get a copy of it from the studio.

Music Inspired

Pink Floyd Bowie Red Hot Chili Peppers Hand-painted hazmat suit with images from Pink Floyd The Wall. This is still a work in progress. Plan to wear to a Halloween party this year. Below shows back of suit. Closet door painted by me as a teenager around 1980. Music and art has always been a big part of my life. In the past year I have added a music-inspired collection of bags to my shop. The appliques are hand-cut and then machine stitched to the bag. No two bags are ever exactly alike. One-of-a-kind and all handmade by me in my studio from start to finish. See the entire collection here.
