Who is Escape Kitty?

Let me introduce myself. I am Escape Kitty.

I got my start on Sept 1, 2010 as I was out playing in the yard enjoying the birds and squirrels. Really just minding my own business. Happy. Content. Daydreaming.

When, but in an instant, I caught a movement in the corner of my eye. Since cats are noted for their superior vision, I had to do a double take because I thought my eyesight had failed me. I shut my kitty eyes for a moment and reopened them to disbelief.

A coyote? In MY yard? Could it be? And he's drooling my way? Move move move! Find my mom . Run to safety.

Big mistake! Really big mistake. Now she never lets me outside. Done - left to dream. ahhhhh but Kitty dreams really do come true.

So come follow me! I am off to Escape.

If you have arrived here from Nancy Hanttula's blog ,welcome.  After leaving your comments and signing up to folow me, then your next stop is here, to Charlotte Jenkins blog.

Now for the work!

Waiting:
 This is Escape Kitty's cat brother, StayBehindCat as he waits by the door eagerly waiting for Escape Kitty to return home from her Australian adventure.  I actually think he is interested in any souvenirs that she may bring back for him, but he whole heartedly denies that.  I'm thinkin some exotic catnip mouse or maybe a new scratch post. hmmm?

This was created using the wonderful sketch by Michelle Grant, at Dusty Attic.   She has such a talent for design - thanks Michelle.    The sketch features the soon-to-be released door frame, keyholes and mail box. 

The doorframe has been painted with Adirondack paint in Snow Cap, then in Sandal.  After that, I applied some white gesso onto a stamp and made my way around the doorframe.  I topped with a pretty Melissa Francis resin piece. 



Here, the mailbox was also finished the same way except that I added some delicate flower rub-ons to the mailbox for the garden effect.

Both the mailbox and the doorframe, with keyholes will be released at Dusty Attic soon.  I was lucky and blessed to get these as sneak previews.
