I really admire the designs of Eileen Seifert. Over time I have bought and hoarded quite a few of her patterns. Oh, to find the time to make all the things that inspire me!
A few years ago I was practising making faces with a press mold. Most of them turned out awful and were thrown away, but I kept a few that I felt had potential for an altered art project in future. Recently I came across one of these and thought it looked rather like a cat. It gave me the idea that I could adapt Eileen's Petzi pattern and make one. This is the result.
I rescaled the pattern to make an 8cm (3 inch) animal, turned the teddy ears into pointy ears, and made a tail. My cat-Petzi turned out like a rather well stuffed sausage. I love the old fashioned look.
Here is the original pattern. Also have a look at Eileen's other patterns. You will be inspired!
Oooooooh... sooo beautiful Megan :)
