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?

I’m swinging away from watercolours and back to rugs for a little while starting off with these twin kitty rugs! These mini rugs are about 16″ across, so just shy of holding my keyboard.
I love creating two pieces from the same pattern, because it’s so fun to see what makes each one so unique.

These little guys will be for sale at the Capital Art Sale here in Fredericton, NB this December! If you’re a local, be sure to mark your calendars for this amazing event!
