Susan B. Cat took me a year and half to create. She was one of those projects that would move forward and then rest for a bit, move and rest. I decided to carve just a tiny bit between the flowers to add depth and interest. She's made from a dried gourd (of course), pyroengraved, carved, painted with acrylics and decorated with dried moss and flowers. Her feet are made from wood. My favorite thing about this particular cat is that she came with a story to tell!
It seems that when I create a gourd character, they are here to provide a nice chuckle AND give me a new children's story to write! How fun is this going to be? Woo hoo!
I'll post more information later on the upcoming book, "The Story of Susan B. Cat".
