Martin........ I just HAVE to have a sweetie little box of kittens with bows like in your pic, just to add to my collection.

My friend loved her white cat planter that I gave her last night. She looked so funny walking around with it under her arms while under the influence of red wine!

She says a big thankyou.

hi ccmacey,,,,a website is a good idea and its something i have gave serious thought too...
however i am trying to build up enough capital to purchase equipment that would make the job far more easier and cost effective...
also i need a much bigger workshop and the list is endless to be honest but im taking it 1 step at a time...

that said when i do eventually get a website set up i would definatly love to help in any way i can to the cat rescue..

a few years back my mother was in the oldham branch of cats protection league and i used to help out at jumble sales,,sponsored walks etc,etc so i am prepared to get my hands dirty..

as for the packaging i have altered the design of the animals slightly...
before the tail used to be part of the back end of the animal but this meant if i had to post the item i had to use a huge box,,,so i decided the head and tail can be removed and everything now fits in a much smaller box...all the customer will need to do is screw them back on with the screws provided..

because the animals are all individually made and not from a production line i think it is much wiser to keep the body of the animal complete,,,otherwise i can see all sorts of problems
i have yet to weigh the animals which i will be doing tomorrow at the post office and from there i will have a good idea how much postage will be....

hope all that helps

Martin maybe you could build a website, and get your link posted through here and also raise a little bit for cat rescue by giving a percentage of sales to the purrs donation funds?  Would this easily be flat-packed for postage or does it have to come already made?


Just an idea  ;)

Google, does he find many things?  :evillaugh:

Tortoiseshell, named in reference to the blocks of colour on their coats, like a tortoise's shell I suppose  :)

hello mary,,,,thanks for the remarks......messages like that make it all worth while....

i havnt done a tabby like yours yet but i am sure willing to give him a go...

the only problem is because im not an artist and trying to get something exact is more or less impossible...it looks like a 3 year old has made it if you know what i mean,,,this is why i like to keep things pretty simple,,,(colour wise)but if you make the cat with a comical aspect to it then you tend to get away with it,,,,
i can certainly get the colours to match but as for the markings then they will be simpliefied...

can you please call tomorrow if possible as we are due to go out tonight and i can talk to you in more depth

again many thanks    martin

Martin you are doing a fantastic job - I've been given your contact numbers and will be in touch asap for a cat and I think a duck too after seeing that one.

 :welcome: to purrs by the way.  Do you have any real live cats or just wooden ones?

Here's a pic of my Bonnie if you want to try and do a tabby.
