One of Hanna’s passion is creating what she calls “softies” most often times made from materials that she “thrifted”.

Inspired by her love of making softies, I made an origami cat, kind of the color of Hanna’s cat Smilla.  I can almost say that this free form origami because there was no pattern.  This is my first attempt at a cat and I’m sure I will do better next time.

I think I should have made her ears more pointy.  I filled her body with rice and fiberfill, the rice made her sit without turning over.  After, I crocheted her tail I inserted craft wire to make her tail poseable.

My little “softie” cat looks just like she is going places inside this energy drink recycled gift bag with paper beads handle.

I hope somebody from somewhere inspired you today.
