mini-P6160023


Ming-Yi drew the cat on tracing paper.


I brought the canvas back and matched it with cloth from our stash to do the window and frame.

I chose blue shades since it matches well with black.

Then, the canvas went back to mum for her to do the black cat.

It's done! And the ear is notched. The cat is neutered!
