Oh well.<br />.<br />Doug, I love black cats too. This started out to be my cat Beany who died last year at the ripe old age of 18. I'm sure he'll show up in a future picture, He was a wonderful cat He had those coppery eyes too..<br />.<br />freebird, I used a bowl that I have with that pattern (enamel on metal) on this and just added the handle. I think now a bolder pattern might have worked better visually, but what's done is done.<br />.<br /><br />Thanks again, everyoneEllen Burketthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05586595186618297528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6050843175565492328.post-6842007537452396652009-10-10T20:04:15.276-07:002009-10-10T20:04:15.276-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Ellen Burketthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05586595186618297528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6050843175565492328.post-45004616828433837172009-10-10T17:07:20.546-07:002009-10-10T17:07:20.546-07:00The colors are terrific.
