I haven't been able to do much art this week but had to keep up with my Compendium of Curiosities Challenge at Linda's Studio L3. I love doing the chipped enamel technique. I had to rush a bit but still enjoyed it. I'll be away from my computer this week but promise to visit and comment on all your lovely things as soon as possible. :) Nan
Quick story about Yoshi if you are a cat person....my husband denies this story to this day but I was there. We were going to have sushi and stopped at Earth Pets for dog food and there was this single tiny kitten with a stub for a tail in a cage and of course I had to hold it and whisper to it that it would have a good home soon. I knew that we had 2 dogs and 2 cats and Steve had said no more so I walked away and we went to dinner. We were sitting over tea and he said out of the blue "OK..tell me why we should go back for that cat" ....I was so surprised that I had nothing to say for once. We went back and got Yoshi who has been the devil cat in our home ever since. We lost our sweet old man kitty this year and she is our 3rd and last kitten in residence. We named her after our favorite sushi roll called the Yoshi roll. And that's the truth! This angel image is actually the opposite of her. She ADORES Steve but is my secret studio cat at night after Steve goes to bed. She will not let him see her being nice to me! I keep a stash of buttons on strings to keep her occupied but occasionally she is right in my face like this photo or petting my tummy from under the work desk...what's that about? I know I have a tummy...back off! LOL!

Nan, you are so funny, Love your Yoshi story, we too have a kitty with her temperment, and she loves to lay in the Glimmermist spray box while we craft. Your tag is wonderfully detailed and try not to stress over the busyness of the week... :)
You´re right, it IS an angel face on this photo - love it, and thanks for sharing the story!
This is great Nan, love it.

Great story about your cat and I love the stamped image you used on the tag, great piece!
Gorgeous tag, loved your cat story
Not sure what I love more, your tag or the story! Your tag is wonderful! Love the sweet little kitten you used! Great picture of the real deal! Sure looks sweet to me!
Nan, there's nothing I love more than a kitty story, with an accompanying kitty photo and kitty-related art! This post made my day! One of my 3 furballs just jumped up on the desk and took a long look at your lovely Yoshi. I think Bo is a little smitten!
Your tag is wonderful! I love that angel kitty with the big eyes and "I didn't do it" expression on her face, and I love the layout you designed for it, too. The chipped enamel numeral is perfect, and I do have to wonder what this kitty's 3 wishes might be!
Great job, and a sweet post, too. :)
Cute tag and story. It looks just like Yoshi. We have two crazy cats that like to walk across my project, so helpful! Off to go complete my project.

Awww! The secret life of kitties! I don't actually have a cat ... two ferrets ... but I've HAD cats who were devils/angels depending on who was paying attention.
Love your tag! So fun, especially with the story, and your technique-of-the-week is perfectly executed!
So sweet and what a great story. Cats have such amazing personalities.
Nan, I Loved your story of your kitty! Guess you just knew you't be taking her home! She dosen't look like a devil, must be those innocent eyes!
Your tag is just purrrrrfect for the ccc challenge!
I just love that kitty tag , and your kitty story. So cute!!

Oh, I just love all the layers. And this technique just looks so cool on the metal numbers.
Hi Nan, this is an adorable tag! It sounds like your Yoshi and my Mina( as in Mina Harker from Dracula) would hit it off. She is our studio cat and is always in the middle of all the projects being worked on.--Take care, Shawn
aaaw love this piece of art, and your cat is gorgeous:))
Love the tag. The colours are fabulous. Loved the story of Yoshi too. She has such a sweet face.
