I finished a new assemblage piece over the week end. I don’t usually do commission work but this one I couldn’t resist doing and the idea for it came to me suddenly while I was trying to go to sleep. It took about three days to start and complete it.
Title: This always happens when that slim orange cat with the green tipped tail taunts us with a bundle of regal wrenches.

This cat creatures was created mostly from pieces of dowel. The face was created with Affinity Designer and printed with a laser printer. The tiny face was cut out painted over with with white paint on the printed side then glued to the head. When the face was dry I wet it with water and rubbed the paper off to reveal the face underneath. The tail is a piece of old Christmas tree light wire with tip dipped in green paint. The ears are some old copper wire.
The purple wrenches where laser cut from 1/8 inch MDF and painted with acrylic paint then bundled together with some black nylon string. The vase tipping over comes from Hobby Lobby.
