Here are some new kitten rugs! This is my first time tufting out this design, and I’m pleased with how it turned out. Tabby cats are my favourite to create, and I’m glad others seem to like them the best, too. There’s just something so charming about stripes.

I’ve made these two little kitties for the Capital Art Sale starting May 8th. I know money is tight for so many right now, so I’m trying to focus on making lower-priced goodies. Everyone deserves something colourful and fun to bring them joy!

After a long delay, I’m thrilled to finally be releasing a new Skillshare class! This is an intermediate level class about adding a mirror to your rugs.

This class is perfect for anyone who wants to add more function to their wall-hanging pieces or who wants to add a bit of a surprise to their work. This is an easy way to add an extra level of interactivity to your work, which makes it super fun!

Thank you so much to everyone who supports my work by watching my classes. Please let me know if you have any questions or requests for future class topics!

Here’s my last rug of the year (probably): Big Scuzzy cat! You can compare the level of detail next to the smaller rugs (with blue eyes) using the same design. I was able to do a lot of carving on the line work to make all the edges feel nice and sharp.

This is probably my favourite design of the year. I just love tabby cats so much, in general, but creating work of my pets is always super special and satisfying.

This rug will be available at the Capital Art Sale starting December 19th!

After a brief painting break, we’re back to rugs. These two little rugs are based on my Scuzzy cat. I love how his playful expression translated into rug form. It makes him look like a much sweeter cat than he is haha!

Here’s another large rug: Boba cat! I originally thought this design was too simple to use for a large rug, but I found it too charming to pass up. Who can resist a pudgy cat face with big, round eyes!

I did a bit less carving on this kitty than on my large fox rug, so the colour lines overlap a bit more. I’m not sure which style looks best. What do you think, do you like the jagged/overlapping colour lines better or the super clean cut lines of my previous post?
