Sets of Notecards and Writing Paper
It's a great thrill to have something
printed, and some of these cards I even print myself as block prints. They are available in packs as noted, and a few have matching writing paper or notepads, or are even available as a 5" x 7" matted and framed
print.
Bright sunshine on anything will inspire me, especially when it's illuminating one of my cats...and so I'd like to share that inspiration with other feline fans. These four designs are printed from my original artwork, each of them cats who've shared my life past and present.
After Dinner Nap
Stanley didn't have many relaxed moments during the day, but one of them was always a spot of sun right after dinner and a nice bath. Rather than disturb him by trying to share in his contentment and fussing over him, I chose to render the warmth of the sun on his side and the depth of the early evening shadows all around.
A Warm Bath
My white cat was endlessly inspiring to me, and I would need two lifetimes to recreate all the images of her that I have photographed and saw every day. With all that lustrous long white fur, Sally's baths are quite a production, but each bath is like a graceful dance, especially when taken in the morning sun.
A Rosy Glow
She found a warm spot to sleep in the sun on that old pink sweater of mine, and the look of contentment on her face was my first inspiration, especially since Miss Moses (we all thought she was a boy) had been a feral kitten and all her life hesitated to walk across the center of any room, finding security in keeping close to the furniture. But there she is in the middle of the room looking rather smug—I can almost hear her purr.
The Little Sunflower
Real sunworshippers, all of my cats wait for the sun to enter the house in the morning and take their appointed spots. The brilliance of that first light and its reflections around the room, plus the contrast of all the exaggerated straight-line shapes with the organic shape of little Cookie and her shadow inspired this one.

Sometimes the simplicity of a single color line or tone on a beautiful paper stock tells the story more expressively than a full-color, scenic rendering. The expressions, coat patterns and close-cropped scenes of cats just being the individuals they are inspired me to create these little cameos.
These cards were printed from a series of drawings I did just for fun years ago using photos from my massive cat image bank (calendars, magazines, books, old photos, anything else with a cat on it...).

My ever-inspiring family of felines causes me to carry both my camera and a sketch pad around the house. Quick, simple pencil sketches catch them hanging around the house and are my favorite warm-up to creating larger pieces of artwork. While I could live three lifetimes and never be finished with the images I can create from my group, friends also give me photos that are too good to pass up. Pencil can be challenging to reproduce, and I’m happy to introduce a new series in addition to my pen and ink and my full-color fine art notecards series.
Below, a sample notecard, notepaper and memo pad. These are not in proportion to each other—please read the descriptions below for exact sizes.

The
stripes made me do it! The clarity of tabby cat stripes as they
outline a cat's features and define its shape has always been
an inspiration for more graphic designs.
These cards were block printed, a technique wherein the artist carves the surface of a piece of linoleum, leaving raised areas which will become the image. Ink is rolled onto these raised areas, then a piece of paper is pressed against the block and when it's lifted away the ink remains, leaving the image on the paper.
This particular image—"Fawnball"—is especially dear to me. Fawn's habit was to rest rolled up in a tight ball when waiting for me to finish something and give her some attention (note the eye watching you). This image was the inspiration for this whole series, and it is dedicated to her.
Fawn had a close call with an aggressive abdominal cancer around Thanksgiving, 1998. This is usually an immediate death sentence, but with lots of love and actually minimal treatment, all physical symptoms completely disappeared and for two months she was back to tripping me and racing me up the steps. That remission was one Christmas gift I will never forget.
I'm out of the notecards until after the holidays, but I still have a number of framed prints available! Please ask if you are interested.

Wrinkled Pajamas |
These block prints are printed with a variety of colors and papers then trimmed and packed entirely by the artist. They are available both as packs of note cards including all the same or mixed images, or as a 5” x 7” matted and framed print. All framing includes a quality wood frame with glass and acid-free mat and backing.
Cards include a border as shown, and are printed in black, brown or rust on various natural color cover stocks in coordinating earth tones. They are blank inside, 4-1/2” x 6-1/4” and come with natural cotton deckle-edge envelopes. See below for samples of cards.
Aside from the cards and prints listed here, I have also printed these images on placemats, curtains and other items. Please ask if you are interested! These special items are one of the reasons my marketplace is taking so long to get going.
They are available in packs of 12 with three cards in each of the four images or in boxes of individual images.
