Shelley's House of Cats
I made this memento for my friend and neighbor, who was selling her beloved house and moving to the country.
This was my first major project, which, like everything else I've done, just kind of "showed up" in my mind. Shelley and I have shared our lives and our cats, and I SO did not want her to move away...but if she did, I wanted her to take something with her that would remind her of our friendship and her home in Kansas City.
See the cat in the lower right-hand corner? That's Sufi, my cat, who used to cross the street (yikes!) to visit Shelley. All the others (count 'em!) are hers.
