Finding Art in Fabric

Like so many people out there I love to go thrifting but with one difference. I don't just thrift to find a new pair of shoes or a toaster in great condition, I thrift to find items I can use in a piece of art. I try to recycle as much as I can.  The body of this unusual cat was made out of the fabric of a skirt I found while thrifting.  I loved the Aboriginal pattern and continue that look around the cat with acrylic paints. Result for my "Cat A Day Project" Day 13 - Magical!
