As a present for my Son and Daughter-In-Law’s first anniversary, they adopted a cute, cute kitten named Wheatley. A couple of months later Amber sent this photo of little Wheatley looking at himself in a mirror……
I immediately fell in love with this photo and decided to play with it and a bit of thread painting!!!
After blowing the photo up to the needed size, I drew a line drawing , cut out the basic kitty fabrics and let the fun begin…..
I was SO encouraged with how the reflection kitty looked!!! It amazes me that I have never been able to draw anything, but I found it amazingly easy to “draw” with my needle!!
I love the expression on the reflection kitty….
I am very pleased with the final result and cant wait to give the finished product to the happy couple!!!
