This week’s Caturday Art features Astrid. I tinkered around with this photo in PicMix, Picasa and PhotoFaceFun but can’t tell you more than that. I feel this is one of my least successful creations. A poet that I was taking a class from years ago told me that most poems are never truly finished but rather abandoned. That’s how I feel about this “art.” I got tired of fiddling with it, put a border around it and called it done.
The portion of this created in PicMix turned the photo into an animated image, but I could not get it to save in the gif format. All the sparkles and glittery stars are now static and less apparent.
We are entering Athena and Marie’s wonderful Caturday Art Blog Hop. To add and/or view the submissions, click on their badge. I mentioned last week that I have compiled a list of free photo editing applications. If anyone would like a copy of the list, let me know in a comment.
You all know by now what follows Caturday Art…Sunday Selfies. At this point I have no idea who will be hosting. No one has stepped forward to volunteer.
We had 61 entries last Sunday, and the kitties did not have an opportunity to visit all your blogs. They are ashamed and pray you will accept their apologies. Fiona’s health issue has made for even more turmoil than we are accustomed. They promise to make every effort to do better this week.
We truly are thankful for your support of our blog and the blog hop. And we especially appreciate all the purrs, prayers and POTP for Fiona. We hope you will consider continuing them for the unforeseeable future.
Hugs, Mom Janet & purrs and paw-pats, Kitties Blue
Mom says sometimes the more she tweaks, the worse it gets. She has sure abandoned her fair share.

Astrid, Sampson is so thrilled to see you featured here today. He says that the art is marvelous, though not nearly as beautiful as the subject. He sends you a kiss for every poem and piece of art ever done, and we all send lots of love!
We think it’s great! It’s true about poems and all creative work. My mum has abandoned loads!
Purrs xx

Painted and glittery artwork looks good, Astrid 🙂 We continue purrayers and Healing Pawkisses for Fiona <3
Yup, that’s what people say in our mom’s industry too – you can tweak and tweak and tweak a great project and you NEVER feel it’s done.
Great shows – and poems – and art of all kind – is never truly finished. 🙂
OK Listen up lady – everyone knows you have a lot of worry at the moment, no-one is mad at you or annoyed you didn’t visit (if they did they would not be friends and blog fans). Your Fiona comes first, before anything else. If anything you should be made at us for not saying thank you properly yet for being our WONDERFUL Secret Paws. Forgive US and a proper post WILL be forthcoming.
Our best love for Fiona’s fight for health. We also missed visiting but are going to do it a week late RIGHT NOW OK?

Funny that you kind of abandoned that artwork, because we thought it was awesome! Looking good, Astrid. 🙂
Mom Janet, don’t feel bad about visiting. We all understand that sometimes life happens, and you have lots going on. Big hugs, and continued purrs and prayers.
It’s very colorful!
If you hadn’t said anything, we would have still thought it was terrific, Astrid!! Sending my best purrs for Fiona xoxoxox
I think it looks amazing!!!
Looking COOL in that effects , Astrid !

Sometimes less is more! Sending more healing purrz to Fiona.

You look so pretty all bedazzled like that, Astrid! Of course, you’re always pretty.

Yes, by all means, that is gorgeous art work. Many more purrs and prayers coming your way so Fiona will get all better. We’ll try to join the blog hop tomorrow. We do like that one, but M doesn’t always help me in time with a post.
Astrid, you look gorgeous.
The art looks lovely as it is. To have done more may have overdone it. I am keeping purring for Fiona.
What a beautiful Caturday artwork. WE think it’s just stunning.
We are still purrin for Fiona.
See you tomorrow for Selfie Sunday.
We love it! It is purrrrfect for Astrid’s beautiful coloring! Don’t worry about visiting all of us, we visit each other, you take the time to host which is important. Take care of Fiona.

We are sending lots of purrs for her.
XOXO
I like that art just fine!! And Fiona will be in our prayers for the duration!!!
You sure look mighty fancy sweet Astrid!
We like it! We’ve never tried PicMix so we’ll add that to our list of photo editing sites.
Purrs still going out for Fiona.

As AWOL as we are sweeties we continue to send our POTP to your sweet babies..and have Fiona very much in our thoughts Loves Fozziemum xxx
I think you did a good job with it. I like the way the paint cans give it a 3-D look. I also know how difficult it is to have a cat with health issues and I wish the best for Fiona and for you.
Astrid looks starstruck and beautiful – I love the pinpoints of light on her furs. I’m sure whoever decides to host Selfies tomorrow will do a MARVELOUS job of it – it’s always fun seeing everyone posing for selfie Sunday!
Hugs, Sammy
I still like your art. And of course I am purring lots for Fiona
Hmmm, we heard meowmy thinking to herself, that maybe if you added the GIF layer last then the animation would stay working.
It is a furry pretty painted kitty artwork!
We are purring our best and loudest fur Fiona. One of these days maybe she will start to cooperate fur the fluids…we hope and pawray at any rate.
MIAOW!
