Art Break - Gift for Miss Buttons

I won't see Miss Buttons for a while (solely by distance, not choice) so I wanted to get her something to show that I am always thinking about her.

She recently shared the story of 'The Boy Who Drew Cats' from the Myths and Legends podcast, and it really resonated with me.

So this story is the basis of this project!

I started with a box

I keep almost everything for craft. Reduce, reuse, recycle!

and painted the inside a happy peach colour.

I cut out some 'carpet' from some fleece.

I made a window and Comrade (her cat) from card.

I attached Comrade to the carpet

and attached these to the box.

I also drew some cats.

Note that the window and cat are not against the back, that is so we have room for the gift!
For the gift, I bought Miss Buttons a scarf with cats on it. This scarf is the 'wall'.

Last, a little card to explain this all.

Done!

Hope you like it Miss Buttons! (I won't be there to see your reaction).
