Dia De Los Nardis

So last year Alex made me an awesome birthday card of my cat Nardis as a sugar skull kitty. As my birthday is on Halloween this was very fitting and we celebrated at a little restaurant called "Little Mexico".
On the 10th July this year Nardis passed away. He has been my soulmate for the past 15years and losing him has been extremely difficult for Alex and I.
So a few weeks ago I decided I wanted to make some plush toys of him and I have used the image of the birthday card to do so!! Nardis will live on in our thoughts and in our hearts but now he will live on in plush!!!!


The plushie and the card




These will be available online very soon!!!!
Hope you like!!!

I desperately want one of these. They are absolutely gorgeous. The card is amazing, and the plush does the card and Nardis honor.

Im sorry to hear about Nardis, I follow your blog and Xander's and always see the cat in designs. This is a great way to get through it, I used to draw my dogs for about a year. Now the not so great end of their life memories are just replaced with all the great memories of their whole life. Not only do you have photos, but all this fantasic art! Great stuff.
Also, thank you so much for putting all your progress pictures on, it confirms what I have been doing in my project prototype.
