***Cat Cave - Wildflower Weed***


Wildflower Weed Cat Cave

For Christmas I made my brother and his wife this cat cave. After completing the finishing touches, I realized the flowers reminded me of "wildflowers and weeds," which just happens to be the name of their band based in Sonoma, CA. How fun is that?
 
 
I sure hope Jewel likes it. I'm waiting for them to snap a photograph of her enjoying her new cat cave so I can post it.

To make this cat cave I used a piece of plastic shelf liner cut in a circle measuring 30-inches across for a resist. It took approximately 12-ounces of wool roving and the finished cave measured approximately 23-inches across. (For complete instructions on how to make a cat cave see my ***Cat Cave*** blog post dated March 2, 2013)
After the vessel dried, I added needle-felted  flowers, weeds and grass as embellishments.

The finished project...a nice place for kitty to hang out, as well as a unique piece of felted artwork.

It is fun creating felted vessels. I'm already planning my next vessel project...a birdhouse.
