Full description

My Friendly Wire Cat is an original handmade mixed media artwork. The abstract cat is sculptured from silver, gold and copper coloured wire, with more wire wrapped around for extra decoration and shine. For the wording behind the cat, I’ve typed cat, repeating it by using all the different computer fonts beginning with c, just to add a different visual dimension. Over this is a layer of white tissue paper with silver speckles to add a bit of shimmer & to soften the wording. The cat is mounted on to brown wrapping paper textured with white gouache & acrylic paint, then mounted on to white watercolour paper. The rug that the cat stands on is made from 3 different patterned papers. Some of the paper’s edges have been torn to emphasize the paper texture. I’ve handstitched around the cat to add an extra bit of glitzy glamour, using metallic silver, gold & copper thread. To frame the artwork, it is then mounted on to a sheet of cat wording, black sugar paper & white card. To show off the wire, the background is in white tones. It also means my artwork will fit purfectly into any home! It can be hung on the wall or can sit on a shelf, or on your fireplace like in my photos.

The wire cat measures 13cm at its widest part, by 11cm from the ears to the paws in height. The artwork is ready to be framed to fit into a 10 inch x 8inch (25 x 20 cm) frame without a mount.
