Day 20 - Claudia in the sky with rain clouds

Today's entry for the [livejournal.com profile] naarmamo National Art Making Month challenge is a bit surreal and needs some explanation.

  1. [livejournal.com profile] drawanyway suggested drawing clouds this weekend.
  2. We often pronounce Claudia's name the German way (rather like 'cloudier')
  3. Since we saw a grey cat like her in a documentary being paraded through a SE Asian village to bring rain, she's been our little rain cloud. We joke that she's largely responsible for Auckland's weather.
I tried to make her all rounded and cloud-like. She's actually quite slender and lithe.

I'll have to think up something for Vic. Vic on the woofer?

You do indeed! :-)

Vic on the woofer?

That could be surreal, too, with a bit of punning licence ;) Or you could draw him on the keyboard. Or at the keyboard....

I was thinking that! :-D

Or you could draw him on the keyboard. Or at the keyboard....

Or doing a crossword!

She does look like she's floaty and cloud-like.

She's our furry little rain cloud! We tell her she's so light, she'll float away one day.

aw...that's cute

Thanks! :-)

She looks very smug and content. Probably thinking of all the barbeques she can spoil by raining on :)

She looks like you've been lying in a park, pointing up at the cat-shaped cloud :D

[identity profile] vilakins.livejournal.com 2007-08-20 11:49 pm (UTC)(link)
I'd be amazed if one was that cat-shaped! But maybe: they rule this planet.

Gorgeous. I love what you've done with your mouse pen:). Precious, precious Claudia.

*Huggles you both*

[identity profile] vilakins.livejournal.com 2007-08-20 11:51 pm (UTC)(link)
She is! She's one of the delights and joys of my life.

[huggles to you and Noki too]

She makes an adorable cloud.

She's an adorable cat. To see her is to want to cuddle her. :-)

Not a bird would be safe!
Great cat she looks just as fluffy as the clouds.

Thanks!

She looks like she's having great fun chasing the other clouds. And the birds, the planes, hot air balloons and anything else that catches her fancy.

[identity profile] vilakins.livejournal.com 2007-08-21 12:10 am (UTC)(link)
:-D As long as she doesn't get rained on herself, she'd be happy.

Oh, I like that a lot. I don't know why, but something about it appeals to me immensely. I just want to keep looking at it. :)

Really? Cool! :-D Maybe New Mexico needs some rain cats.
