Catpipe

Josephine · Post by **Josephine** » Mon Feb 02, 2009 8:31 pm

This is my first pipe^^

I wanted to make something special, and I have never really seen a pipe shaped like a cat before.

It's far from perfect, but I learned a lot. I think it will be easier to make the next pipe.

I used about 11 hours over three days. My boyfriend also made a pipe, so he helped me saw off some parts and things like that.

Please, tell me what you think

I will take a better photo soon, the flash made the paint look bad... It really looks better irl.

Well that certainly is unique! I like that the cat is yawning and that you utilized the yawn as the chamber of the pipe, the teeth are a nice touch. Now as your pipe making skill improves it will be interesting at least to me to see what you can do with your imagination.

Me either. . . and it's the best damned pink striped painted Catpipe I've ever seen.

Aah, so it's neutered. Good thinking.

Please, tell me what you think

Very imaginative and whimsical. It has a bit of an Anne Julie flair about it. Do you, by chance, know a collector named Miss Rita Lee Shotts? I think she would rather like this piece.

That's super fun. I think my wife would like it

I'll be showing it to her in the morning once she's up

As you said, not perfect. I think the correct term for that is purrfect. I think Catwoman might be interrested

. Nice first pipe. Keep them coming. It would be interresting to see what you come up with when you get more experienced.

Thanks

I'm glad you guys liked it^^

No, I haven't heard of Anne Julie or Rita Lee Shotts, but I'm fairly new to this. I don't even smoke, I just like making things, really.
Got any links to them I should check out? :3

Here are some new photos:

The more I look at it, the better it gets. Did you use leatherdye for the stain?

I have heard of her. Miss Rita Lee Shotts contacted me about making a HUGE apple for her. She seemed very interested and then SQUAT!

I wasn't sure what we used, but my boyfriend said: "aniline/alcohol soluble, cherry and brown mahogney"

A huge apple?

And you didn't hear from her again?

I'm thinking of making an owl sitting on a branch for my next pipe

Oddly enough just after my post she emailed me. Now I am just finalizing color etc.

I think Kurt stole that order from you.

I don't think Kurt stole any order actualy. She is free to choose whom she wants and thats O.K with me.

Great work, I love it. Is it for sale?

Rad's not being serious, he's just ribbing Kurt.

I'm not sure. I wouldn't know how much to sell it for either, or if anyone would actually buy it.

What do you guys think? Could you help me price it?

You should not sell this pipe.

Why not? :3

One wonders if it is, perhaps, too much "cat" and not enough "pipe" for a first sale. Merely one man's opinion though.

Perhaps you're right.
Well, if anyone's interested in a cat, rather than a pipe, let me know:D
I wasn't planning on selling it, but if anyone wants it...

And as a sidenote, I normally draw portraits, so if anyone is interested in buying portraitdrawings, you can look at my gallery here: http://www.josephine-death.deviantart.com
