"Cat-Scanned"

The sunniest spot in my studio is the window on the west wall. That's also the place I was instructed by my fabulous felines to place the kitty bench so they could enjoy a nice sunbath in the afternoon. On occasion, I have to borrow their bench. I photograph my beads under studio lighting for the most part, but once in a while I have a set of beads that just beg for natural sunlight. What I hoped was a natural admiration for my beady creations turns out to be them wondering what the heck mommy is doing on their cat bench. You can just about bet that any beads I photograph in the sunlight have been properly "cat-scanned". Below are some photos of cat-scans in progress.....

again...you have me cracking up. I love how your cats are part of your bead life...cute kitties! (And gorgeous beads!)

Awww...Thanks Jenn! I would be lost without my studio assistants!
Now if I could just teach them to make beads that would be great!

Jenn said...

Even better, it would be great to teach them to do the packaging, shipping, and bookkeeping!

You say assistants, they say supervisors, tomato, tomahto...

Yeah, kind of like the saying, "Dogs have Masters....Cats have Staff". But I have to say, they're great bosses. They never complain if I ask for a day off. And they're always happy when I shut down early to go have a cat nap.

you are giving me the absolute giggles now I miss having "cat-ics" my word for Cat Antics around the house. When ever we would walk in the room and greet her Cessie would give us the look that Puck was giving those beads!!!! As if something was truly taking away from her............... lol
