Cat Wall Collage
As we all spend more time at home with family, this is a good time to make, capture and display original art work.
Over the years, I have collected a small collection of favorite cat-related framed items, from a theatre bill when our local campus hosted the traveling production of the Broadway musical “Cats” to Anna’s charming thank you cat drawing.
Every one of these cat items has a special place in my heart and mind.
Another original cat illustration from a local charity auction. (Photo by Charlotte Ekker Wiggins)
This modern cat illustration was a win at a local charity auction many, many years ago. I liked the colors and the silhouette but almost didn’t bid on it. It reminds me to go after what I want, I may just succeed.
I received six copies of this cat cartoon, a sure sign it deserved to be framed. (Photo by Charlotte Ekker Wiggins)
There is something very funny about this little cat cartoon. Enough so that six friends all sent me a copy so I had to get it framed and added it to the cat collage.
This was the one framed photo I used to keep on my government office desk. (Photo by Charlotte Ekker Wiggins)
When I worked in a formal federal government office, this was the one cat photo I kept on my desk. Two of the cats are no longer with me but this photo has good memories of the times I shared with them. And I still live with the other two younger ones.
Love this framed silk print of a cat with a parrot. (Photo by Charlotte Ekker Wiggins)
This piece of silk may be from a piece of clothing. I love the cat at the bottom watching the parrot. I used to live with our family parrot so this scene has good memories.
That’s one of the criteria I use when deciding what to add to a wall collage. Looking at the parts should generate good thoughts and feelings.
Here they are all together, wonderful memories all in one spot. (Photo by Charlotte Ekker Wiggins)
Once I paint the wall the collection will be more evenly spaced. Right now I have them on a wall to frankly protect them until I can get to updating this small bathroom. That’s the key to a wall collage, it should capture, and bring back, good thoughts and memories!
