Craft-Room Challenge. Felines

Thank you everyone that entered our Anything Christmas Challenge. We had a lot of wonderful entries and it's going to be difficult to choose the top three.

The CRAFT ROOM CHALLENGE this week is Felines and it has been chosen by the lovely Zoe.
I love cats and have a few beautiful cat stamps but for my DT piece I decided to use my Bagpuss stamps and decoupage sheets. I'm a big fan of Oliver Postgate and Peter Firmin and I love Bagpuss, the saggy old cloth cat.
For the background I used paper out of the decoupage kit and stamped Bagpuss onto some pink card. The main image is 3D decoupaged and the mouse and bird I just used a single image.
I used my computer to do Bagpuss's poem.
Don't forget to be eligible for the prize draw you need to have the CRAFT-ROOM logo in your sidebar with a link to the Craft-Room shop.
The rest of the Design Team have made some lovely inspirational samples, so why not take a look.

I'd also like to share with you a couple of pieces of needlework that I did over 20 years ago.
This is a piece of blackwork that I made for my mum and now have inherited back.
This cross stitch piece I made for me and it lives on one of my kitchen walls.

    You are bringing back lots of memories to a certain generation as I remember Bagpuss (yep I am that old at 43!!!)
    I also did needlework before I discovered this passion and sadly I have to say that I don't do cross-stitch or tapestry anymore. What is worse, I have an incomplete cross-stitch.

  14. Hello! I love your work!
    I have been looking for the chart to the Blackwork Siamese Cat for some time now, but I can't find it. Do you know if it is still available somewhere?

    1. Hi Kianna, I'm sorry I can't help you, I did this piece about 20 years ago - the chart was in a magazine. Keep looking, I'm sure there is a chart somewhere.
      xxx Hazel.
