Mendofleur

I have this wonderful coat from Paris with a “Worth” label in it.  The cat was made from a small piece of this.  The coat was not salvageable, but worth the value of its beauty and possibility.  I drew the cat on paper, but the image was so pathetic that I simply started cutting from memory and adoration of my three cats.  I then added a bit of stuffing before closing up the seams.  The tail is made from a dyed ribbon.  The majority of the fabrics  and pieced trims down the sides are old.  The border on top and bottom are new Asian prints.
