Here’s little Bill aka William ChatNoir aka Phoebe, our new-ish elderly rescue cat. She’s been with us about 4 months now and things are settling down between her and our OG Naughty Tortie, Sparta Puss. It’s costing us a fortune in bribes – all sorts of kitty treats. Sadly, Bill’s human died and she wentContinue reading “#Caturday: Fun With Photoshop – More Bill…”

Squeegee Rescue
Today I was down at Swansea Print Workshop and one of the little squeegees gave up the ghost, the old rubber blade split. No problem, it can be repaired. I removed the three crosshead screws holding it into the wooden handle and prised the broken blade out with a flathead screwdriver, wriggling it at bothContinue reading “Squeegee Rescue”
Cat Cut Outs
I traced a drawing I did recently of Bill, our new rescue cat, and used it as a template to cut some cat shapes to have a play with. I recently recycled some textured papers, old prints that had been rejected. I squeegeed some acrylic inks across their surfaces to see what happened. Bill’s silhouetteContinue reading “Cat Cut Outs”
More Fun With Photoshop: Bill’s Story 2.
I had so much fun with Photoshop and William ChatNoir (aka Bill) yesterday that I had another go today. I put Bill through a Poster Edges filter and then into a Gradient Map with Orange, Yellow, Red and Blue. Poster Edges really picked out the subtle patterns on the voile curtain. Bill is an elderlyContinue reading “More Fun With Photoshop: Bill’s Story 2.”
#Caturday: Fun With Photoshop: Bill’s Story 1.
I took a few photos of our new rescue kitty, William ChatNoir, or Bill for short, on our window seat, backlit against the spiral net curtain. She’s a black cat and the photos are perfect silhouettes in black and white, and I fancied playing with some of them in Adobe Photoshop. I ramped up theContinue reading “#Caturday: Fun With Photoshop: Bill’s Story 1.”
#InternationalBlackCatDay
Today is #InternationalBlackCatDay and here’s our not-very-international black cat Bill (short for William ChatNoir – blame Husb – he’s a Trekkie). She’s been with us for about 3 months now and she came via the Cats Protection rescue centre in Bridgend (she was originally Phoebe). Husb and I had been thinking about adopting an olderContinue reading “#InternationalBlackCatDay”
#Caturday! Kitty Surprise!
It’s #Caturday Saturday and here’s a wacky photo of a surprised Sparta Puss with a little kitty pal who looks, frankly, a bit wooden 😉
#Caturday with bubble wrap.
Just a bit of fun for #Caturday. I was doing some monotype prints the other day, using Gelli plates and bubble wrap and I picked up this rag from the rag bin, a piece of cotton covered with little cartoon cats. After I finished printing each colour – Process Magenta and Process Cyan – IContinue reading “#Caturday with bubble wrap.”
Orange #Caturday.
It’s Saturday #Caturday and here’s a blast from the past, a little reduction linocut of Sparta Puss when she was a kitten, dating from 2010. She’s looking a bit cross, as usual.
#Caturday: The Golden One.
It’s #Caturday Saturday once again and I’ve been playing with a picture of Sparta Puss in Adobe Photoshop. I put the photo through a Coloured Pencil filter and then cranked up the Saturation to create this golden effect.
