Neglectable Pets: VetTech
written by Julie R. Neidlinger 0 comments link this post
VetTech probably enjoyed her job more when the wild tabby cats weren't sinking claws into her head.
No lie: this neglectable pet is based on a real story.
It's the sad story of a vet tech trying to do her best and finding that there are some crazy critters that just don't want to be helped.
Crazy critters that leap to the top of the head and latch on and go berserk.

::Neglectable pets: bizarre and fun creatures that come with their own bizarre and erratic official papers that prove something not yet determined. All pets are made one at a time by myself, making use of two decades worth of my mother's fabric and notion scraps. Each has a mouth that is a fully functional pocket for you to hide valuable stuff. You can neglect them and yet they will retain a continual look of crazy-eyed bemusement. Each pet is original, one-of-a-kind, and based on a pattern of my own creation.::
Materials: Fleece, cotton, pinto beans, ribbon, clear acrylic.
Size: About 6" high, 5" wide, and 2" thick (thickness varies)
Other:Spot wash. [Do not immerse in water, since this neglectable pet obediently downed a bag of pinto beans before being put on the market for adoption. The beans keep him upright on dry land, but they'd drown him in the wash. And make him bloat something awful.]
Price: SOLD

Neglectable Pets: Hoover.
written by Julie R. Neidlinger 3 comments link this post
Hoover has spent too much time with his face to the sewing room floor.
He's stuffed. With more than just stuffing.
He made a pig of himself on scraps of cloth, ribbon and thread. And he has the clear conscience (and heart) to not try to hide it.
He also has a crazy hair issue. All that time eating off of the carpet has raised a few gnarly static issues.

Neglectable Pets: Scotch the Bruiser.
written by Julie R. Neidlinger 0 comments link this post
Scotch the Bruiser has seen a few fights. He's normally a pale-colored cat. He takes his punches, and bruises, with great aplomb.
He's Scotch, and not just because he refuses to pay for anything. He has a heart of plaid that matches his puffy lower lip.
He also has a weirdly-haired back, but if you try to talk to him about it, he'll end up taking on more bruises.

Stripes the Cat.
written by Julie R. Neidlinger 0 comments link this post
Based on the "brutus" cat pattern inspired by my own cat, Brutus, this cat has stripes on his back. Hence, the name.
Double button eyes (old, recycled buttons) and a blanket-stitched mouth bring filled with ferocious rick-rack teeth give him character. Or attitude. He's lightly stuffed, very squishy, and fun to throw around. Plus, you can hide all kinds of stuff in his mouth; it's a pink pocket that goes down inside of this hungry cat.
See detail | See back
Materials: Fleece, buttons, polyester stuffing.
Size: About 9" tall and 8" wide
Other: Completely washable, easy to care for. Unlike the real Brutus. Not safe for children under six because of the button eyes.
Price: SOLD
Labels: budget, cats, kids, plushies, whimsical

Cave Cat
written by Julie R. Neidlinger 0 comments link this post
Based on the "brutus" cat pattern, this cat is actually kind of sick. He's a cave cat, wearing clothes made out of..."cat."
Double button eyes and a whip-stitched mouth bring out his expression of stupidity. He's lightly stuffed, very squishy, and fun to throw around. Plus, you can hide all kinds of stuff in his mouth; it's a pink pocket that goes down inside of this cave cat.

Stubbins
written by Julie R. Neidlinger 0 comments link this post
My sister works at a vet clinic and so I often find myself doing animal portraits for clients and friends.
This portrait was of a cat named Stubbins who, though missing a tail, had one of the cutest faces I'd seen.
Cats are difficult for me to draw, though, because they don't always have the clearly delineated shape of other animals. They're soft and fuzzy and often end up looking like visual blobs if I'm not careful to really observe and understand the anatomy beneath all the fluff.
Materials: Graphite on paper
Size: 9" X 14"
Other: Custom Portrait
Price: SOLD
Labels: animals, cats, commissioned, drawings, sold

Bracelet: Yellow Kitty
written by Julie R. Neidlinger 0 comments link this post
The glass kitty bead sets the tone and the rest of the beads - from blue to red to yellow and black - follow suit. A mixture of bead styles and colors as well as metal tones of both gold and silver, this bracelet is surprisingly subdued on your wrist. The delicate blues are offset by the bold red glass beads. And of course, the kitty bead is pretty cute, too.
Materials: Glass and metal beads
Size: 6 1/2"
Other: Handmade and one-of-a-kind.
Price: $20
Availability: This item is on consignment at the Heritage Arts Gallery. Please email me directly if you would like to purchase it.
