Kafir fig. Original coloured pencil drawing by Kraftikats' Shop


Beautiful, sunny, daisy like flowers of the Kafir Fig or Hottentot Fig as it is also known. An original watercolour pencil drawing drawn on grainy Fabriano paper and as this plant grows low and spreads like a carpet it lends itself to this rather stylised image quite well. The artist looks after her horde of animals although sadly, 3 of her 10 indoor cats have left them recently. I suppose they have their own little destinies too but it´s painful nonetheless. The 3 outdoor cats are still doing fine and enjoying the better weather!!

Moon Gazing Hare, Original mixed media by kraftikats' Shop


The hare was sacred to the Goddess Eostre and this is where the word Easter and the Easter bunny/Easter egg came from. The Moon-gazing Hare represented ancient Pagan beliefs about new beginings, re-birth, abundance and good fortune and the spiral represents the endless cycle of life and death.
Last year Kraftikats took in and neutered an already pregnant again mother and her 5 kittens from the previous litter and they already had 3 cats and a dog and were ( are ) feeding 3 more who live out. A percentage of any sales will go to the charity of the month chosen by EFA.
