Bringing Felt Figurines to Life with @cat_rabbit

For a peek into Cat’s whimsical world, follow @cat_rabbit on Instagram.

��I’ve been known to spend up to 40 hours just on one piece,” says the Australian artist known as Cat Rabbit (@cat_rabbit), who brings vibrant felt creatures to life from her studio in Melbourne. What started as one-off gifts for close friends soon evolved into life as a textile artist. “I used to draw little characters in the margins of my lecture notes and then I’d go home and make them into felt friends for my real-life friends,” Cat explains. But as awareness of her creations grew, so did demand. These days, Cat’s figurines — fashioned from what she calls “humble materials” like felt, scissors, cotton and a wooden chopstick to help with stuffing — have found new homes across the globe.

Her creative process, however, hasn’t changed much. “I usually do a rough sketch of what’s in my mind before I start, which inevitably changes in the process of making,” she says. “Each character winds up with a very individual personality.”

The Secret of True Love Paul Newman & Joanne Woodward

They met in 1953, were cast together in “The Long Hot Summer” in 1957, married in 1958, and remained blissfully happy together for 50 years, celebrating their golden anniversary just months before Paul’s death in 2008.

Paul Newman’s letter to his wife on his wedding day:

 “ Happiness in marriage is not something that just happens. A good marriage must be created. In the Art of Marriage, the little things are the big things. It is never being too old to hold hands. It is remembering to say ‘I love you’ at least once a day. It is never going to sleep angry. It is at no time taking the other for granted; the courtship should not end with the honeymoon; it should continue through all the years. It is having a mutual sense of values and common objectives. It is standing together facing the world. It is forming a circle of love that gathers in the whole family. It is doing things for each other, not in the attitude of duty or sacrifice, but in the spirit of joy. It is speaking words of appreciation and demonstrating gratitude in thoughtful ways. It is not expecting the husband to wear a halo or the wife to have the wings of an angel. It is not looking for perfection in each other. It is cultivating flexibility, patience, understanding and a sense of humor. It is having the capacity to forgive and forget. It is giving each other an atmosphere in which each can grow. It is finding rooms for things of the spirit. It is a common search for the good and the beautiful. It is establishing a relationship in which the independence is equal, dependence is mutual and obligation is reciprocal. It is not only marrying the right partner, it is being the right partner.”

The Beautiful Rings of Saturn

The Saturn system reveals tantalizing vistas. NASA’s robotic spacecraft named Cassini carries with it 12 instruments designed to take precise measurements of Saturn and its surroundings, including Titan, other icy moons, and the rings, as well as the magnetic environment.

For many of us, however, the images are what put us there, at Saturn, almost a billion miles away from home. Some of those images unveil overwhelming beauty. Others show tricks of light and seemingly magical oddities. Some reveal events from the distant past that have been preserved for eons, while other views depict processes that are changing now, like live news.
