My sister's resting place - cat artwork by Mom

[Catty1]

It cost extra - but it was well worth it. After Darcia died in 2006, Mom worked long and hard on pencil drawings that were an outline of two Oriental cats (she had two pairs in her lifetime).

Here they are in brass...Mom did good. :):love:

They look wonderful, I'm sure your sister would love them! :) Your mom was very talented.

Talented indeed! I love it! Bet your Sister is smilimg down saying "GOOD WORK Mom!"

Wow!! That is beautiful! I never knew your Mom was so talented.

My mom IS talented! Made all our own clothes when we were little ones, made special pantsuits when Darcia and I were teenagers and we went to see Bill Cosby at the Centennial Concert Hall!

She did really creative alphabet letters to put across the top of the blackboard when she taught elementary in Inuvik NWT. It was great being a teacher's kid...you got to use COLOURED CHALK on the blackboards. :D

When she was in her 40s she decided to take some actual art courses. She quit - because she wasn't 'perfect' enough.

At the time, because a special casting cost $350, I said she should sell her design to the cemetery catalog. She didn't - the molds were destroyed. Only lately did it occur to me - these were for Darcia, and Darcia only. :)

Dear Darcia...

Those are really nice. Congrats to mom. What a touching work of art.
