He wears hand dyed red crepe paper pants with a tea dyed white crepe paper waistband. He is gleefully carrying a stem of pink flowers and a metallic red Dresden heart. I have tea stained his entire body to give him an antique appearance, and completed him with a reproduction Victorian paper scrap cat face.
This spun cotton cat ornament is ready to hang from your Valentine's Day, spring, or shabby chic style feather tree - or wherever you have a free spot waiting to be adorned. He is approximately 4 1/4" tall, and will come to you signed and dated.
Spun cotton is a craft that dates back to the late 1800s with origins in Germany. I enjoy keeping the tradition alive for fellow collectors of this unique art form.
