Two more Celtic animals

Right – back to the new series of Celtic animals. Here’s a double dog motif and a cat, although the cat is really part Pictish and part Celtic in style.

The double dog, with details in metallic thread

The Celtic-Pictish cat

The cat is done with a Fairy Frost black and silver fabric applique, and embroidered with black and grey threads. It’s a very subtle effect – maybe too subtle, as the details aren’t very clear. Next time I’ll try a little less black and a little more silver

Love the cat! I like the black Fairy Frost too. What do you think it would look like if you did the 'tail' part in silver, but the 'tongue' part in gold? Or would that ruin the Celtic look?

Fairy Frost black and silver fabric applique, and embroidered with black and grey threads looks really very nice ......
