Lots of cat cuddles

As I have mentioned before,  I look through animal pictures on Google to get most of my inspiration.

A few months into the business,  I came across my most used picture. I was looking under the search term "cute animals" and amongst them was this picture of a really cute black and white pair of cats cuddling.  I will share the link rather than the picture as I don't want to infringe anyone'scopywrite.

Well you see what I mean,  it screams "you must put me on lots of boxes!  I am definitely the cutest protrail of cats you will ever find ".

With an argument like that,  how could I refuse?

At verious points,  I have made my version of this.  I have also done it with different types of cats.  Mabe one day I will do it with the wild cats too.







Some have found their forever homes and some are waiting hopefullin my shop,  but whatever happens they are never alone.

As a identical twin,  I  dislike my own company.  So, spending forever in a loving cuddle sounds great to me.  

I also volunteeras a cat behaviouralist  (I have studied feline behaviour and psychology), so these boxes are probably the closest to my heart.  

I think I will be making variations for the rest of my career. I will never make a mould though,  I  love freehand sculpting too much.

Nature, my favourite artist

There are many themes that run through my work;  it's all made from Fimo,  it's all on the colourful side and it's all inspired by nature.
I don't look at pictures of other people's creations when I am modeling,  I  look at pictures of the actual animal or flower etc.  I look to nature for my colour combinations and my inspiration. 
Even my dragons.  How you ask?  I  look at pictures of lizards. 
I learnt that we all become desensitised to the awesomeness of nature,  because it has been a part of your life since birth. 
Take the common pigeon.  Look again at their colours;  lavenders, dusky heathers, soft grey blues.  Then you get the band of metallic rainbows in some  ( like in a soap bubble).  If you saw someone's living room in the same colours, you would be in love with it.
It's not just the colours nature uses,  but the awesome visual displays. There is so much variety of beautiful things,  that I am never stuck for inspiration.
