So, every week my dad “treasure hunts” at all the thrift stores within a 30 mile radius of our homes. I’ve been going with him in the hopes of someday finding and Old Warrior for like $10 (Hey, you never know! 😆 ). A couple weeks ago I came across this awful looking kitty:

Well, I felt bad for the little guy. He had so much potential, but here he was, sitting unloved on a thrift store shelf. I picked up the little kitty and decided he needed a better life. Last night after my babies went to bed I sat by the light of the Christmas tree and gave him a new coat. My next step, I will either give him fairy wings and a sparkly wand or a magician’s wand and a top hat (I haven’t decided yet 😀 ). When he’s done I will find him a loving home where he can be happy, instead of on a dusty ol’ shelf. I guess this is my new hobby: finding ugly orphans and making them adoptable 😆 I also got an adorable little bunny that is painted neon blue :puke:
December 24, 2010 at 3:13 am #834459Wow! He looks adorable now! Cool! 😀
December 24, 2010 at 3:32 am #834460Nice to see it get new life 🙂
December 24, 2010 at 3:55 am #834461wow, great idea. Pretty baby now. 😉
December 24, 2010 at 1:17 pm #834462Aaaw! He looks more like a magician to me. Or you could go with an apprentice-sorcerer.
Read my books! Volume 1 and 2 of A Dragon Medley are available now.

January 3, 2011 at 2:28 am #834464He looks a hundred times better skeeter! Nice job! I like the little magician idea myself 🙂 Can’t wait to see pics of him when he’s done either way! What’s he made out of by the way?

Please visit My Webpage to see my art and PYO's that I've done in the past!January 3, 2011 at 3:15 am #834465Thanks guys! 🙂 I think he’s ceramic, he’s smooth and hollow on the inside (i think that’s how ceramics are poured, aren’t they?). The way he’s holding his little paw up, it looks like he should be holding SOMETHING, so for now he’s sitting on my kitchen counter until I figure out what 😀
