Chasing two very tiny frogs for a set of ears for a gothic mouse helmet. I’m wearing two pairs of 3x magnification glasses to do this. #jeffdeboer #chasingandrepousse #smallsculptures #gothicstyle #gothicartwork #gothicarmour #littlemetalfoxes

It's so sad that der Dekan has no one to spoil him rotten.
(Actually, the next second I was under the blanket with him and we had the best nap together.)

It has been a while, but I finally managed to make a new pendant.

Der Dekan is never subtle about letting me know if something I do bores him (a video chat in this case).
The big head of my tabby called Der Dekan on my knee. He is sound asleep and his slightly open mouth shows his tiny bottom teeth.

I'm never afraid someone's gonna steal my embroidery box.
Der Dekan, my tough looking tabby cat, is lying on a large white box marked RSN Royal School of Needlework which holds all my embroidery supplies.

The cat - emboidery piece inspired by my own boy (who insists he's much prettier which is of course 100% true).
Embroidery showing a brown tabby cat from the side with closed eye and a smirk. There are a few sparkly gold lines in the background. The piece is mounted in a 9 cm vintage round brass frame.

Vaguely inspired by my rainbow cat Ponder (the one in my profile picture).
A bead loomed oval pendant with a black cat head with amber colored eyes wearing a red Santa hat, the background is a dark teal, the edge is from silver seed beads.

That ghost will definitely wake you up

#cats #christmas
Ebenezer Scrooge is sitting up in bed, having just woken up. He’s saying “What? No! No no no no!” At the foot of his bed, a ghost of a cat is barfing up a sprig of holly. The bottom of the cartoon reads: “The Ghost of Christmas Cat”

"Guardian of the Woods" is inspired by the creepy streetlight picture that keeps making the rounds every, now and then.
I say there is a story in this that I am unfortunately not good enough to tell.
I really enjoyed making this one.
An embroidery hoop with the embroidery of a black creature with long hair and a glowing face standing before several birches. Pearly white seed beads mark snowfall.

Arrrrrr ... my Christmas pirate.
Both der Dekan (no surprise) and Gundel (big surprise) don't get bored with our tree. There are several gnomenappings during the day, but Gundel prefers the middle of the night to let the neighbors take part in the festivities by knocking around gnomes above them.
Der Dekan, a tabby cat, next to a Christmas tree trimmed with little gnomes and a light arch, squinting which gives him pirate vibes.

Poor Lenny

#Christmas #Holidays #elves
Three of Santa's elves are working at a table, each of them putting together a toy. One is smiling and singing, "Sleigh bells ring, are you listenin'?" Another elf is singing "In the lane, snow is glistenin'." The third elf is yelling, "Dammit, go in the #&@% hole!" and he's smacking the toy with his hand trying to get a peg to go in. The bottom of the comic reads, "Lenny never quite fit in with his coworkers."

Flashback to all the beaded and other ornaments I made last year - all of them have to be out in the house hallway because of a naughty little cat 😂

#beaded #beading #christmasornaments #catvschristmas
A collage of different Christmas ornaments, most of them beaded, stars, misteltoe, mitt, angel, nutcracker, holly, Christmas tree, Christmas pickle, snowman, and more. Der Dekan, my tabby cat, looking through my Christmas light arch with trees and cats with shiny eyes. A handmade ornament looking like a pineapple slice in beads is sitting on the top of his head.

Der Dekan is looking forward to some fun.

Der Dekan, my tabby cat, is looking up into my small Christmas tree decorated with handmade ornaments and little Christmas gnome figures, anticipating all the fun he is going to have with them.

It's not looking good for Dennis

#cats #christmas #christmastree
A Christmas tree ornament is talking to another ornament next to him on the tree. He loos worried and is saying, "Am I a goner? Is he doing the 'butt wiggle' thing? Damn it, Jason! Talk to me!" Next to the tree is a cat who is about to pounce and attack the ornament

Happy Thanksgiving!
Two dogs are in a kitchen. One dog has a coach's whistle around his neck and is holding an iPad. He's saying "Look up, widen the eyes...not bad, but that's not a 'gimme some turkey' face. Come on, Frank. DIG DEEP!" The other dog is looking up towards the ceiling with big "puppy dog" eyes, trying to look cute.
