’Lucky kittens in mittens by Su_G' (https://www.spoonflower.com/fabric/3727769): My entry in Spoonflower's 'Kittens in Mittens' Contest. Placed 55th out of a tough field of 217 cute and charming designs: received 152 unsolicited votes: THANKS to everyone who voted and/or faved! Original: Line art, chalk, brush + ink© Su Schaefer 2014
Printed nicely at this small scale - as shown in the thumbnail together with 'Lucky eights' (https://www.spoonflower.com/fabric/3728048)- the background design (left) - both printed on basic cotton (double click for a clearer view).
One of the exercises I was set to get flexibility in my wrist (fractured falling off a ladder while moving house) reminded my husband of those 'lucky cats' that beckon or wave a paw up and down... and that's where the idea for this design came from.
