Geisha cat is out of the closet

When I got back from Amy's, I was really in the mood to stitch, but I had left my canvas and threads, etc with her to ship back to me.

So I pulled out the Geisha cat.   She is SO CLOSE to being finished!!  I completed the background and started putting the Swarovski crystals in the centers of the silk ribbon flowers.  I put all the gold beads in the center of the trellis stitch.

She's made a public appearance already.   When I did the tour at the McNay with the Handweaver's Guild a couple of weeks ago, I took her with me to show to them.   We have an exhibit called Orient Expressed, which shows the impact that the opening of Japan in the 1850s had on western art.   I decided that the Geisha cat surely complemented the art exhibit.   They loved her.   One lady asked to buy her from me.   Highly flattered, but I don't THINK so.

Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving.
Happy stitching.

There is something about Amy that inspires. And your cat is very inspirational as well. What a masterpiece! Doesn't surprise me one bit that someone would want to buy it. It is gorgeous. Can't wait to see the most recent Amy project.
