Oh This Cat!

Cat on My Window Sill

As I sit on this window sill
Unmoving, silent, very still
Watch my blue eyes speaking
Is your heart melting?

I lick my lips and you get it
You bring out a bowl and you fill it
I purr to show satisfaction
Of our unspoken connection

Okay, so it’s my first time to make a poem about my craft. I made the cat using polymer clay, and the window sill using an empty matchbox. It’s really quite an adorable yellow cat, and it’s one of the few crafts I’ve kept with me because for some reason, I can’t bear to give it away.

It also inspired me to write the poem that accompanies it. I imagine the cat, looking oh-so-cute, using only its hypnotizing eyes to communicate its desire to drink some milk. And of course, all I can do is comply. After all, who can resist those eyes? Oh this cat!

Thinking of Tiny Tea Sets

I don’t call this blog tinier crafts for nothing! =) I really love working with small things, and polymer clay helps me express my secret desire to be a miniature artist. I recycled an empty matchbox and wrapped it with scraps of fabric and an old paper doily to make the tray of this tea set. I used the inside of the matchbox to store mini sticky paper so that I can pepper my office with useful art. I wish I could show you the close up shots of the cookies because they really look yummy, but the Internet has been failing me. Happy crafting Wednesday!
