Determination Watercolour Reproduction by thoseparisoldays

For all the trouble they give us, it's impossible to stay mad at someone who, just by doing so, makes you laugh! This watercolour reproduction by thoseparisoldays shows that you've got to have a bit of determination in you or you'll get nowhere!

I, along with a group of ladies (and a couple of gentlemen!) feed, play with, pay visits to the vet and, once in a while, manage to place one of the too many kittens here on the Spanish Mediterranean coast!

I try to take care of the cats around my neighborhood on the southeast coast of Spain. Last week I teamed up with a German organization (Los Duendes) to sterilize cats and dogs in the area. We didn't get as many as we'd have liked to, due to many of them still feeding their kittens, but we managed a few and every little helps, right? :)

Who's The Boss Print by thoseparasoldays

This drawing by thoseparasoldays was made specifically for Etsy For Animals's Monthly Challenge. The challenge for March is "Sweet Shelter & Cozy Comforts"; a stool may not seem very comfortable but often it seems as though what a cat looks for, more often than not, is some elevation - even a little helps!

Alright, so these babies wear lipstick and mascara but at least they're hairless! ;) The fabric is a cotton blend and their heads are stuffed with cotton balls; they measure 2,5 cm (1"), with a 1,5 cm (0.6")pinback. Wear a smile on your lapel, crowd your bag or make a nest for them in your hair!

Sunny Skies Ahead - fabric cuff by Thoseparasoldays' Shop

This embroidered bracelet was made especially for Etsy For Animals' April challenge "Buds and Blossoms". The cuff is hand sewn almost all the way through and made from little scraps of cotton, cotton blends and synthetic fabrics. A light, sunny shade was chosen for the base and then apliqued beautiful bright blues for the wings of the birds! The colourful inspiration this time came from the hanging gardens of Babylon; a sense of magic and spring romance under the desert sky... The artist works with the feral cat colonies on the Spanish Mediterranean coast, helping out where she can.

Adrift - Fairytale Print by ThoseParasolDays' Shop

This was originally made for Illustration Friday's prompt "Adrift" and the inspiration for it was Jon Blund(Swedish), or The Sandman as he's known to the English-speaking world; the story goes that he carries two umbrellas - an ordinary "empty" one for the naughty children and one for the good ones that's filled with wondrous images on the inside. He induces sleep by dripping warm milk into their eyes. I work with the feral colonies in La Mata, Spain, entered the recent To Happy Vegans Tombola and hope to participate in upcoming Vegan Craftsamples!
