A New Textile in the Studio


A shipment of vegan (faux) leather was delivered to the studio yesterday morning and I got so excited I immediately got to work with it. I just added the fruits of all my labor to the Pesky Cat Designs shop. Tomorrow I'll be finishing my Harris Tweed spring collection which should be available in my shop either tomorrow or the day after. Shades of beautiful heathered blues that seem to have been weaved straight from the colors of the sky. Stay tuned!

Anni spent most of the day in her favorite chair taking a break from the studio while I worked away.

Thank you Dawn and Annuk! I really appreciate your feedback.

Annuk- I woke up Anni to take the photo so that is why her eyes look a little sleepy . lol

Dawn- It's a great chair isn't it?! I purchased it for times when Tom and I sit and watch TV or movies on the internet. But most of the time she is on the chair and I do not have the heart to push her off. So I use my uncomfortable computer chair instead. LOL!

Elisa I do have the same chair and my Zoe loves it too (it has quite a few scratches and pulled threads on its back, she used it as a scratching pole sometimes when she was little ;)))!!!

What do cats have to take a break from? From napping, cuddling, sleeping and resting, I guess...

I have had lots of lazy cats and, unfortunatelly, one very succesful bird chaser who made up for all the rest of them sleeping their 9 cat lives away...

I love the new bags, brown is a great colour to match any warderobe!

Kristen- Me too!

Sandrine- Anni sends some cuddles back to you!

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. I think my Anni would love a cat cave although her favorite spots right now are the pillow behind my head in bed, a straw basket that was meant to store magazines and a storage box made from fabric that becomes a hammock when she sleeps in it. My sweet Anni FOX 5 Update : A while back I wrote a post about a story that Fox 5 news was doing on Etsy and the handmade market. I was interviewed in my studio as part of the feature. 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. I'll be sure to post a link to it when it becomes availab...

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.
