hair, here, there—everywhere,
on the couch, chair and stair,
lots of hair, so much to spare—
>’ ‘<
kitties, kitties with short hair,
none on couch, stair or stair,
it’s not fair but don’t despair—
>’ ‘<
mounds of hair, this cat can share,
must roll it up then ship with care,
5 balls of love for cats with none—
hey new york kitties—go have some fun!
el story-o to begin the year right
me gato in Meh-he-co, what a delight!
wearing a necklace proudly, he is
doing his best to get me more biz!
alas…
no sombrero, no nada, has traveled me way
but Gaia, me gato, you’ve sure made me day!
Don me now my gay apparel,
me me me me o me me o-ow:
Don’t me look so photogenic,
me me me me o me me o-ow:
Bless it be all beasts of winter,
me me me me o me me o-ow:
Singing joyful for me dinner,
me me me me o me me o-ow !
Where else?? but
At the beginning
Then follow
On down
Until the END: then
Of course!!!
(inspired by Lewis Carroll quote)
Gaia: what the *?!!# is THAT!!!!
one week of brushing yields piles of fluff
what to do? craft s’more that cat hair stuff!
nimble hands now roll now shape then form
that mound of hair? it’s now transformed!
now see, for words cannot express
wild cat exuberance! yes, Yes! Y E S !
the fur piles
cat wildness one
cat wildness two
cat eyeing the hairy toy
i’m done with necklace number three
t’was balls of fun—let’s shout WHOOPEE!
what’s next?—i think i’ll take a break
but mostly it’s for Gaia’s sake
commission three of 3
commission work, ain’t an easy thing to do
especially when iterations make you blue
this here one, was not much fun
glad i was when it got done!
the tubes of hair—too large at first
wire too thick—it made me curse!
i calmed my mind, got back to work
with head at ease, i then rework
persistence finally got me through
i’m pleased—hopefully you are too!
commission two of 3
twinkle, twinkle, little star
how i wonder what you are
made of cat hair, just the best
taken from this kitty’s chest!
commission one of 3
three necklaces—a commission!
this could have been an imposition
for gaia as well as me
much HAIR is what was needed
for felting to be completed
but luckly i’d brushed and groomed
for months before so i’m not doomed!
mr gaia is my luscious muse
i create while he dost snooze
a new creation i shalt unveil
with pom-poms of a grander scale
this choker it is not old news
i know for me it does enthuse!

whorled steel and orbs of hair so fine
a statement piece—this new design
