The open polka dots on his costume were the result of a happy accident.
When I first painted them, I wasn't happy with the color, so I attempted
to wipe them off. They had already partially dried, so I was left with a
little ring of color that I happened to like. I did the rest of the
dots in that same way: putting dots in a small area, and then wiping out
the centers. Once he was all painted, I used some ink to dirty him up,
and then painted him with glaze to make him shiny.
My partner in the swap said she liked a bit of humor, so oops! cat bat has lost a button and his little rear end is exposed.
Ready for my close up, Mr. DeMille.
Oh My Stars, she is fabulous! What a great grin.
