Purly the Paper Mache Guardian Cat

Details

I love cats. I'm actually a cat fanatic. Not a proper cat-lady (rather a cat-woman), since I only have two: Woody & Stella.

One day I started creating paper-mache creatures, and found myself sculpting cats. These made their way out of my hands, straight to the sun’s warm glow, to dry out.

The cats are created from small mineral water bottles I’ve collected at the end of a concert I attended. I saw the heaps of bottles and made up my mind to recycle all of them, and to make art that will help clean the world and make people smile.

PURLY is 4" tall (not including ears) and 3" wide.
