Inspiration Wednesday.....?

I know, I know... but in my defence I did actually have this file ready on Wednesday, it's just I want to take Monday off work so I have been working through my lunches.

Anyway, here are a few things I've been meaning to file away this week. The first is a site with these adorable japanese kitties. They come in a few different colours and poses. I get a kick out of this guy. He looks like my Siamese does when he sleeps - fat and oblivious of whatever is going on around him. Click on his picture here to check out pictures of his other buddies.


Cutie Cat

I was looking for something having to do with cloth bags (Back Tack inspiration you know) and I came accross this kazansi site again. I keep bumping into it. I've seen a few bloggers around giving it a try and the technique seems to yeild some beautiful results. There are other examples on this site.



Kanzasi

I was looking up something having to do with felting and came accross these next two pictures. I had to record this one here because it is a child's picture of a cat that has been made into a hooked rug. I love the colourful cat and could see myself decorating an entire room around it. Lina would be so pleased. The link to the original site is here, however it just lists various workshops that are available.


Hooked Rug

These felted Halloween pins were on the same site as the rug above. I love the spider!

Felted Halloween Pins

This monkey purse was just too cute not to stash away for future reference. There are a few other shots of this little guy there as well. If only I had seen this during LoobyLu's Sock Monkey Month of Softies. I still have two sock monkeys on my craft table buried under a pile of magazines waiting to have eyes and arms.

Knitted Monkey Purse

I was looking for knitted pouches and found this little pouch mouse. Actually I was taken more by the crocheted bears on this site - Ursa Minor Minatures - than by the pouches and purses. They are adorable. This guys however was made by Mary Daub. I can't find very much about her on the web, but this little mouse is too cute too!
