Crafting with Curlypaws

Crafting for a TV show

Does art imitate life?

I did some crafting for a TV show, and I can’t say what it is.  It was so fun to sit in a little room with two of my good witchie friends, making up spells, translating them into latin, forging diagrams, drawing skulls and stuff…. They took all our pages and aged them and bound them in a great big “grimoire”… here are some of my pre-aged, but photo filtered pages:

Mice Bodies

When I was in kindergarden, I remember that the teacher wrote on my report card that I was really good at cutting and glueing.  Well, it turns out that she was right, and now I get paid for it.  This crafting task was a challenging job, but I did meet a great contact with “Blue Square Studios”. I was asked to make a pattern for 13 different shaped personified mouse figures, and cut material to perfectly cover and glue down.  There were 13 in total, and by the end, I was a master.
