This work in progress has been lying on the shelves way too long now, so let's finally finish this small portrait of our late cat Chrissie.

Now this mosaic only has to be grouted and then it'll be (finally) finished.

Bij het opruimen kwam ik deze mozaïeksieraden tegen. Ik heb ze destijds o.a. gemaakt als voorbeeld voor de workshops die ik gaf. Interesse? Ik verkoop ze tegen kleine prijsjes. Er zijn er veel meer dan je op de foto ziet. Stuur me gerust een DM voor meer info.

Someone is sunbathing on our balcony. 😎

#sunbathing #caturday #catfeet #balconylife #catinthecity
This photo shows the hind feet of a tabbycat and a small part of her belly, suggesting she's sunbathing.You can see she's lying on a fenced balcony quite high. One foot sticks through the wire. On the ground a canal, a path and several trees are visible, as well as some flats farther away.

This portrait was made by Erna, a very special former student of mine who departed this life a year ago today. Erna was not only a very kind, but also a very talented woman. She made this mosaic of her niece with much patience and love.

Came across this photo of our late Chrissie again. I still love it. What do you think?
