VOGUE-REALITY involves making beautiful things yourself,this curtain is made from glass beads,swarovski crystals,old chandeliers and bits of earings etc from second hand shops.

My friend Elizabeth made around 15 of the strands and hers are the most beautiful parts.In the afternoon our living room is full of rainbows.

More catrun,I have loved doing this project.

So here is the extension to the catrun

This painting is of my boy cat Angus,he is such a cutey.Ive painted him as GOD greeting people who are thinking they are allowed into heaven???

I got this idea from a Margaret Atwood book of short stories called The Red Tent,there is a beautiful story about a cat going to heaven to discover God is another cat.

You see Angus doesnt like people at all,he isnt scared,just revolted,he tolerates me because of food only and wakes me up with a sound like NOW,not MEOW,and this is usually around 5am...every single day!He has perfect pink pads on his perfect white cat paws and the kissiest pink cat lips you will ever see,although I wouldnt feel safe trying to kiss them because Angus doesnt stand for ANY sort of nonsense under ANY circumstances AT ALL!!!Angus has moved all over Australia,living in beautiful parts of this country,at the beach(he never set one paw on the sand)and in rainforest,he has flown a number of times too which he HATES.Angus is 11 next year.I saw his first paw enter the world and have known his face longer than he has known mine.
