Judy Ahlborn - 3 of 25


Ever since our family got our cat, I have collected various cat items to sit around the house.  The usual subjects of my art are flowers, butterflies, birds, and kaleidoscopes, but I decided to start adding some cats.  This is the first cat piece I have created, and wanted to make it fun and colorful.  I designed the cat applique in Photoshop and used some of my kaleidoscopes in the design.  The bottom layer of fabric is a commercial batik to which I fused a piece of chiffon including the black swirly lines.  I free motion stitched the background and appliqued the cat on top.
