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.

My first glue book

I kept meaning to take this to our fine arts group to show the last two times and kept forgetting. So, I'm posting it here. I have changed one thing on the cover, but other than that, this is what it looks like! I put the images in order. The last one is the back cover and it has the table of contents on it. I had fun doing this one and will probably attempt more. I have finished one little one, in addition to this one, but it hasn't made it's public appearance yet!

This is not where I heard about gluebooks, but here's a site that talks about them: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/gluebooks/.

If anyone wants the original instructions I received, just let me know and I'll email 'em to ya. I have them in pdf form and they have pictures and everything! Thanks to Jef for the pdf!
