The Cheshire Cat

Hi, folks! Jingle here! Today I am SO excited to share a super fun project I created with Creative Paperclay® and some gorgeous Luminarte watercolor paints!

Meet...the Cheshire Cat!



I created him by starting with a foam ball split in half for the base and then built up with foil from that to create the basic shape I was looking for.



From there, I covered the foil with Creative Paperclay® and formed the tail portion over a length of wire pushed into the base of the cat. I allowed this to dry for two days before proceeding.



I sanded gently before painting. I first applied the stripes using Luminarte Twinkly H2O's. This gives the Cheshire Cat a wonderful shimmer!



The final step was to add the distinctive toothy grin and spirited eyes using white paint (Sharpie paint pen) and black marker.



I just love the way he turned out! And he sits quite happily along side his friend, The Mad Hatter!
