I also have time to start working toward my 2012 goals of expanding my business both virtually and in the brick and mortar realm. I have plans to make more art and sculptures. Like these cat sculptures... Dilly and Tiger, mother and daughter cats who past away in the past years. They were a gift for my mother.<br />
These are orders that I completed this past holiday season. You can order them at <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/ilgattoselvatico" target="_blank">my shop</a>. Many of them were custom made, you can order custom made portraits and necklaces (or art) of your favorite places personalized with a heart for Valentine's Day.IL GATTO SELVATICOhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04847629457807413366noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4796940377702893476.post-89420459857915708082012-01-05T18:45:00.000-08:002012-01-06T11:37:48.312-08:00Mini Rome Guide BookA friend of mine recently asked me to write up a list of a few places to go in Rome for her sister who is going to study there this semester, so I did and it turned into quite a lengthy list...Here are my favorite places in Rome...Please add yours to the list<br />

Well there's only one bracelet but I have plans to make lots more using the snaps that I have used on this one and leather and some kind of embroidery or yarn.<br />
<br />
1. Old belt that I found but that had no buckle so I attached some snaps to it so I could change the buckle. The buckle here is a vintage racoon buckle that I got in a trade with <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/EmmaBeansandMore">Emma Beans and More.</a><br />
2. I made this belt to use up some conchos I had left over from some jewelry. It's also made of deer skin and of a silver plated buckle.<br />
3. I made this belt to go with this dress and another black and white dress I have. I used what looks like a mother of pearl buckle that I found in my stash of stuff from my Great Aunt Mildred. I used the same deer skin as I use for the belt above.<br />
4. Once again I needed a super cool belt for this dress so I took a piece of ribbon from my Great Aunt Mildred and bought the leather buckle and glued it to the ribbon (yes the fabric glue was the best thing).<br />
5. This bracelet is made with the same deer skin as I used to make the belts plus some nail heads that I had left over from a <a href="http://ilgattoselvatico.blogspot.com/2011/04/studded-madness-weekend-diy-project.html">previous project (shoe decoration)</a> and snaps from my mom.IL GATTO SELVATICOhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04847629457807413366noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4796940377702893476.post-48332714901988987322011-10-05T18:24:00.000-07:002011-10-05T18:24:59.733-07:00Good Things Come in Threes<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhl5pIrymIWl5ZxaftvlBtOknj-vZWY9Z6CdBhsiQJY_SAkwZT20C7S1J0wDwo4YJ97gVq-5afcXVSkteK_eBnhwFw5sJamJlF8G4_CKC4noEDNw8B-yYgY4bCl80JSGIRfYFYTqRt-nWl0/s1600/trinity+neckace+4.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="367" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhl5pIrymIWl5ZxaftvlBtOknj-vZWY9Z6CdBhsiQJY_SAkwZT20C7S1J0wDwo4YJ97gVq-5afcXVSkteK_eBnhwFw5sJamJlF8G4_CKC4noEDNw8B-yYgY4bCl80JSGIRfYFYTqRt-nWl0/s400/trinity+neckace+4.JPG" width="400" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaZ8E2bICEBYGugfKA74KJam9SK8XpwNCTxLWH1nxY5aDgGu5eMY6-0DISLpfB8DF1ux127UH14ZmsWTSSl1dk6W72erMpnPqvmJnOmMnF2LI2yAGhd42MCNO6ebRYpZHIXaaYhhc9H2Nd/s1600/trinity+necklace+6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a></div><br />

Our cat certainly is a traveling cat, the poor thing has been dragged from Rome to Philly to New York to Richmond in just this past year, and all last year, in New York, she was sleeping on top of one of our suitcases.<br />
I first saw this vintage suitcase turned animal bed on Etsy and then again on Pinterest and then decided as soon as I could find an affordable suitcase I would make one for Ranita. How I did it-first I cut the fabric inside that covered the hinges then I took off the hinges, using a power drill and a flat head screw driver. I drilled a hole from the inside where the pins were and then I pried them off with the screw driver. After that I folded the fabric over and glued it in place. Then I made the pillow, I measured the inside of the suitcase and then cut and sewed some old fabric together, there are two different sides (which you can see above), then stuffed it with shredded foam. I left the side pouches in, and they make a great place to store toys (see above). The whole thing cost about 7.50 but would cost more if I had bought fabric for it and could end up costing more if I add wooden feet to it which I'm thinking of doing.IL GATTO SELVATICOhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04847629457807413366noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4796940377702893476.post-18094390577548560162011-09-11T09:35:00.000-07:002011-09-11T09:37:04.887-07:00Spiral Hoop Earrings<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8WXsUhqWu98Y0wi4uAn8GGtGgA3Ufi07vlQvGOIS7g4tvVYxBfvIOggxu-1r2_LKSLPU151ybg1gDas6Wq73xfjP4-DZgUSiCNHAQ-S6CknFzhZ1PMfu1yjWlw1i1f9dkkhBhHK681lT5/s1600/spiral+earrings+2-pumpkin.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="331" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8WXsUhqWu98Y0wi4uAn8GGtGgA3Ufi07vlQvGOIS7g4tvVYxBfvIOggxu-1r2_LKSLPU151ybg1gDas6Wq73xfjP4-DZgUSiCNHAQ-S6CknFzhZ1PMfu1yjWlw1i1f9dkkhBhHK681lT5/s400/spiral+earrings+2-pumpkin.JPG" width="400" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-XTFn4QN3WnYVAFTlMPscX-JVzremzv1tTxtn93yd28hkLC7_ZyzGn6rAD-p-mytgH0tZsHwzDDxojlaskaR6s3MJFOJ_JFULtqT0a8eK3xlpWEVSVBkaSZ8IoN1gVmXvZ5VyJBm5Qt6h/s1600/spiral+earrings-pumpkin.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="348" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-XTFn4QN3WnYVAFTlMPscX-JVzremzv1tTxtn93yd28hkLC7_ZyzGn6rAD-p-mytgH0tZsHwzDDxojlaskaR6s3MJFOJ_JFULtqT0a8eK3xlpWEVSVBkaSZ8IoN1gVmXvZ5VyJBm5Qt6h/s400/spiral+earrings-pumpkin.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoIUo9wiEG9FvoCpMW33RN6iXyNJJEhQ2bUCnfD5ijqcuSZDmcjq_4tq8s3Aqpa2VZ7kiS_2RgWoieh-j5fEJyWMbguDlsrb1ExlAhQeXWD9xw58PjbNbe36aP17V8jYhBJGdQ8oM_nanE/s1600/spiral+earrings-lime+2.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="307" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoIUo9wiEG9FvoCpMW33RN6iXyNJJEhQ2bUCnfD5ijqcuSZDmcjq_4tq8s3Aqpa2VZ7kiS_2RgWoieh-j5fEJyWMbguDlsrb1ExlAhQeXWD9xw58PjbNbe36aP17V8jYhBJGdQ8oM_nanE/s400/spiral+earrings-lime+2.JPG" width="400" /></a> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7wqfGI-kQKYe3fIqE35hXI84g1MYKMGXDZPukA3gwkIFahDkXwTyHTmzADxTTJjrVWR4h0DoHtb4rivtHXVkBchLhO4SGhviVQ_f-KRM1nUmG0oVMPiJBYrEwhxliePSFSl1TUNuY2zkV/s1600/spiral+earrings-lime.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="352" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7wqfGI-kQKYe3fIqE35hXI84g1MYKMGXDZPukA3gwkIFahDkXwTyHTmzADxTTJjrVWR4h0DoHtb4rivtHXVkBchLhO4SGhviVQ_f-KRM1nUmG0oVMPiJBYrEwhxliePSFSl1TUNuY2zkV/s400/spiral+earrings-lime.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>These are my newest creation.
