Pity Pat the Kitty Kat

Say hello to Pity Pat the Kitty Kat. This little creation was made from Bre Pettis's (www.brepettis.com) pattern that he shared on Make Magazine's Weekend Project Podcast.
















I really enjoy Bre's ideas (including the icosahedron project I had my class do!) and loved his sympathy doll idea.

Here's an excerpt of what he says about them:

The sympathy doll idea is to make a doll that is so sad and pathetic that it inspires empathy and love from people. You really can't feel too bad around these dolls because you just know that no matter what, you don't have it that bad!

So there you have it.

I have only made one and I gave that to Lia's daughter for her birthday. I plan to make more, though since I think they are fun and cute, although sad.

Stuff I made in Cali

The top two pictures show the purse/bag I made for my friend, Lia. She picked out the materials and I put it together. The other two are bags that I left with her to see if they would sell at all. I think they came out rather cute. There's something about each of them that I really like.

So, why don't I finished the one that is supposed to be for myself? ;-)
