She is adorable, Steve❣️❣️😻

[@SteveMcDonaldCrafting]

Thank you Judy

[@christinaperson1168]

Your cat is amazing! He/She just needs whiskers and a mouth to finish it off! I am partial to kitties 😸 and yours turned out so well. Thank you Steve for sharing your creativity with us!!!

[@Karri_in_the_PNW]

Yes! I didn't even think about that. Some fiberoptic ones would look pretty cool shining against that sequence.

[@SteveMcDonaldCrafting]

Thank you, I am definitely going to add those

[@gabrielleschmidt1435]

And here I thought it was just a goose egg you were showing us! I should have known by now you would never stop with that! 😄 The cat is great, Steve! I love it! It's so whimsical! Love the eyes, the collar, the black tips, nose...everything! ❤ Your mind is a fertile playground. I'm so glad you enjoy playing in there because we get to enjoy the fruits of your creativity! 😊👍❤

I love this it came out super cute 😍.

[@SteveMcDonaldCrafting]

Thank you! 😊

[@Karri_in_the_PNW]

I'm in Love with this Cat! 💜 You should totally name it & then create a different name tag to hang on the collar for every season. That sequence must have taken more than a couple hours though. Bet you were happy when it was finally done!

[@SteveMcDonaldCrafting]

Thanks, great idea about the name. Once you get into the sequins it is really relaxing

[@suesmith9202]

I love it

Ok you saw a cat.... I saw a squirrel when you first had the wire body made!!!! The cat is really pretty and ✨ sparkles so much!! Stay safe and stay crafty👍👍🔔🔔🦋🦋

I will have to make a squirrel now. LOL x

So happy I landed on this video. I've wanted to make some garden sculptures and you've given me some fab inspo👍

[@carolebrooks8929]

You, sir, are amazing. Any work I have done with chicken wire, without gloves, ended with a lot of blood loss on my part. The cat is fantastic.

[@SteveMcDonaldCrafting]

Thank you. I have really tough old hands LOL

[@perfumedelight66]

This is insane! 🤩

[@ellishansen8115]

Wow. That's impressive for never shaping chicken wire before. Perhaps it's the elusive bear cat, 🙂. Great job Steve!!

[@SteveMcDonaldCrafting]

Thanks 👍 I loved it, although I am still not 100% convinced it looks like a cat, so bear cat it is now LOL

[@toughtimes6596]

Your energy just comes through your videos! Bast would be proud, it's amazing, just needs whiskers💞

[@SteveMcDonaldCrafting]

Wow, thank you!

[@stephiecreative8241]

Thanks Stephie, I have her in the art studio watching me all the time

[@ZippedUpKitz]

You absolutely crack me up… I love how you come up with ways to do things… it may be somewhat unconventional, but by God, it WORKS!!!

[@SteveMcDonaldCrafting]

LOL thanks, I use what I have to hand

[@ZippedUpKitz]

@@SteveMcDonaldCrafting I am the same way… I use tools in all ways but the way they were intended to be used! Well, not all the time… but you know what I mean…

I can definitely see that

It's so cute. I love this!

Ok that reminds me of Sid the Sloth from Ice Age!!!….. at least it did before you added the eyes and the collar! I love this Steve!!! It adorable!L!!!!

[@SteveMcDonaldCrafting]

I can see that, I love that character

[@ZippedUpKitz]

@@SteveMcDonaldCrafting lol… yeah, I do too… I think he is probably my favorite character in that movie series…

[@coffebug]

I'd add a couple of heavy stones or a bag of sand inside it then it could be a pretty door stop. Love the sparkle.

[@MakeupMobster]

Omg that came out soooooo cool! Love it!

[@JennifersJemz]

That's awesome! You are so creative. Thanks so much for sharing this and all of your other projects. You inspire me to keep crafting/making art. Happy Creating!!!! 😺🎨

You didn’t just cut that wire with those scissors 🤭 the OCD signals in me are going crazy 😝 You never fail to entertain. Great crafting and lovely result 👍

[@ZippedUpKitz]

I was cracking up myself… he is the funniest human being ever…

[@SteveMcDonaldCrafting]

LOL it was the only thing I had and didn't want to wait for something better to cut it with

[@ZippedUpKitz]

@@SteveMcDonaldCrafting hey, whatever works!!! Right? ROFLMAO….

[@ZippedUpKitz]

CHICKEN WIRE!!!!! I used chicken wire to make a very large blue bird for a parade float when I was a kid!!!! We made soooooo many "carnations" out of twist ties and tissues… our float won first place in the Czech Festival Parade that year… wow….that was 40 years ago!!!!

[@SteveMcDonaldCrafting]

Sounds like a wonderful project

[@ZippedUpKitz]

@@SteveMcDonaldCrafting if I never make another carnation out of tissue paper again, it will be too soon! Those things were a total pain in the bum!

[@lindafrier26]

🤯😻

[@SteveMcDonaldCrafting]

😍😍

[@loisanderson3283]

At first from the top view when you started the back legs before the front legs it kinda looked like a dinosaur. However you did a great job and I love how it turned out

[@SteveMcDonaldCrafting]

Thanks Lois, now I am going to make a dinosaur, I love that idea

[@tinacluff2793]

The paper Mache clay/paste made it look like concrete.

[@SteveMcDonaldCrafting]

I am so pleased with the recipe for the paste. It dries so hard

[@debrabradford3344]

Give him some whiskers

[@margaretzuelke9761]

Love the cat! I probably would have gone a bit more literal and made a chicken out of chicken wire. 🐔 silly me

[@SteveMcDonaldCrafting]

I wish I'd thought of that LOL

[@fairyspunfibers9098]

Ooh! A sparkly chicken! 😄

[@spongegirl7166]

i like it kinda like a egyptian cat would be gooid idea for halloween black cat

[@SteveMcDonaldCrafting]

Thanks Spongegirl

[@carlycharlesworth1497]

Oh my goodness it's gorgeous Steve! What a clever use of some chicken wire and sequines. I never would have thought of that! You have an incredible imagination Steve. Thanks for a great idea, I might try that myself, although not so large. Where is it, going now it's all finished and looking glam?

[@SteveMcDonaldCrafting]

Thanks Carly, I have it on a shelf in my studio under a light that makes it sparkle. I am going to keep this one to watch over me

[@cat9lives999]

Wire covered sparkly whiskers needed

[@SteveMcDonaldCrafting]

Definitely, I will make some

[@jackieliddell8876]

Can you paper mache be used on items that are for outdoors?

[@SteveMcDonaldCrafting]

I think it would get soggy in the rain

[@ourparanormalworld]

IT'S MISSING WHISKER'S, UNLESS ALIEN CAT¿ I LOVE IT, BUT I LIKE USING MOSAIC MIRROR TILES,BUT ON STYROFOAM. I LIKE THE SEQUIN IDEA ON OBJECT'S THAT ARE ODDLY SHAPED!

[@SteveMcDonaldCrafting]

it does need whiskers, I hadn't realised I had missed them out LOL. I am enjoying playing around with mosaics too

[@craftylittlerthings]

I love it just as the wire sculpture. It looked so cute after the masking tape, I loved the 'Yoda' ears lol. You do know you get nice big tubes of uhu glue from the £1 shop don't you, I have said before, well I think I have lol!! The only thing I would say you have fotgot is to put a mouth on coming down from the nose, and maybe a few, fluttered wire whiskers. Otherwise I think it's cute. You now need a proper pedestal to display him in your house.....So how are you going to make that?? Hugs x Ann x

[@mariak.chalmers2577]

How come you started the tail out with silver but the finished cat has a black tip tail? Did something happen to the first one?

[@janeash5328]

He needs whiskers

[@SteveMcDonaldCrafting]

he does Jane

[@Momnpop98]

Fitting to have a CAT made of CHICKEN wire and being SCRATCHED up to high heaven.
