I Love SpoiltPig

Yaay!  I got my package today from Natalie Wilson (aka Nat’s Nest) for the Felidae Craft Swap! I’m such a huge fan of Natalie’s work.  She’s an incredibly talented artist, textile and fashion designer and creator of these gorgeous little creatures:

and the BriesBerry Mice

SO…as I organised the Felidae Craft swap, you may be suspicious and thinking I paired us up on purpose.  I promise I didn’t though! It was completely random, honest!

Natalie has been a fantastic swap partner, I LOVE EVERYTHING…
If you click through on the photo to the Flickr page, you can see little notes that I’ve added to each thing and see the full size version.

My little Cat Creature is called Neko, inspired by the Japanese Lucky Cat – isn’t she adorable?!  My extra treat to an original Natalie Wilson watercolour, printed on a card has sent me over the moon, it’s so beautiful…I’m ashamed to say that I’ll never be able to actually give this to anyone, it’ll have to be framed for my wall I think :)
To top it all off (as if I haven’t been spoiled enough), Nat has also sent me a whole heap of gorgeous fabric samples.   I’ll have to take individual photos at some point to really show off all the prints…that’s if they don’t all disappear into other projects by then!  I’ve already set aside some of the sequin fabric and an anchor print sample for current projects in college.

Thank you so much Natalie, I absolutely love my swap package and I hope you’ve enjoyed it as much as I have!
