They are made for Mačjelovka (cat catcher or cat hunter), an association that helps feral and stray cats. I used to be an active member of this association. I helped catch feral cats to spay and neuter and for some time I was a foster mom for the kittens. :) Through time it became harder and harder for me to put the kittens up for adoption. There were fewer and fewer homes willing to take such kittens into their home under our conditions and when they started to stay with me for months I became attached to them and ended up keeping them. That's why I have 7 cats and my mom has 5 of them. :) I had to stop at this number for my cats' sake so I stopped fostering.
But there is still a way that I can help. Mačjelovka has selling booths on different occasions throughout the year and I decided to donate paintings. They are made as a simple background with a black cat silhouette. The purple one was even made with a help from a stencil. I just painted in the eyes. :)
And this is my new Penny. I tried to finish her but her hair is giving me trouble. So she'll just have to wait for the New Year. :)
Happy New Year to all my blogland friends! May all your resolutions for the New Year come true and I wish you health and happiness most of all. :)
Ful so kjutkane. Najbolj pa sta mi všeč ta prva in ta zadnja.

ReplyDeleteMačjki so fantastični! Sploh tista zadnja, ki se preteguje. :)
ReplyDeleteThese are great Natasha--I can so see them as cards--love the reason for them too!
ReplyDeleteA very Happy New Year to you too!
Great paintings for the fur babies! Good for you Natasha. I love my puss cats too.
ReplyDeleteSuper ideja za slikice. Verjamem, da bodo našle lastnike in s tem pomagale mačkom.
ReplyDeletePenika pa je simpatična. Uhh, lasje, ja.. se mi zdi, da pri nekaterih rečeh vsakič znova iščem najboljši način, pa ga ni pa ni.. bo treba še kar naprej poskušat :)
I like the way the cats tails are twined together. What a great way to support this group! Happy New Year to you also!!
ReplyDeleteYour cats look great. I have 3 indoor cats and 2 that live in my barn. It is so hard to resist kittens. They are so cute. I like Penny too she has a lovely face.

ReplyDeleteOh wow Natasha these are all so gorgeous I love them! I really enjoy painting sillouhette paintings you have inspired me to get back into it again! My mum rescued a cat on Christmas eve, such a skinny neglected little thing she found whilst out walking her dog, poor little thing. She is now staying with my mum til they can find her a good home. At least she got to spend a nice Christmas with my mum.
