Earlier this month, kk reminded me about foil engravings and the terrifying reality that little kids everywhere are entrusted with those tiny “scraper tools.” Does anyone else remember these and how awesome they were?
Framed and everything!
Yeah, I definitely dabbled in the finer arts of foil engraving as a kid. And by “as a kid,” I mean that it’s possible I was working on one of these when I was 16. No lie. If only I had been working on my own design, that could have been cool…
Kittens have a thing for water creatures, it seems.
Here’s what’s even less cool: I displayed these in my first college apartment. Many thanks to then-roommate Stephanie for putting up with me and my dorky antics (and so very many other things).
This is 16-year-old Sarah's work. Can't you see the advanced techniques?
Anyway: kittens. I told you I was obsessed, and I was not kidding. I’m pretty much over decorating with kittens now. I am still very fond of actual kittens.
Stay tuned for updates on my latest critter-decor.
more proof of the kitten obsession
