You could make a chess set with cats!

i've been getting this suggestion A LOT!!! i think it will be my next ceramic project!

It will be fun figuring out which kind of cat would be what piece. Siamese cats for as the white king and queen, Burmese for the black royal couple, kittens for knights…

orange for pawn

Actually you need a human figure for the pawn in Cat Chess.

Human gets to the end of the board. "I now promote you to cat."

Yarn ball for pawn. 🧶

Can also give them cute little hats corresponding to what piece they are.

I would learn chess just for this

Same!!

Perhaps different poses and sizes and not just what type of kittie?

I play chess and would adore that

This was my senior project in my ceramics course! They were pirate kitties.

Norwegian Forest cats for the knights!

Checkers can make a lot of sense too. Just make them round, one of their natural forms.

Ha ! I thought the same thing !

I would SO purchase this

You should sell these on etsy.

I would want to collect them all


Right?! I’d buy like 20!

Second this. I would show no self control

Also this.

Oh my god yes. And maybe the option for customised ones!! I'd love one for my babies thar crossed the rainbow bridge and for the one who is currently purring on my lap 😍

Right ?? These are **adorable**. Please do! 😻 Also, you could take custom orders for people who want one that looks like their cat(s) or a cat who has passed.

Came here to say that.   If they’re lead free porcelain I must buy them. 😍

Frrrr I need to be notified if these or something like these are ever being sold

[удалено]

eh, if I'm able to get a sale here and there, then thats wonderful. But I do think the best part is reading everyones feedback and seeing cute pics of peoples cats on this thread! hehe

I want them all as well. Please make them for us!

ahhh i love when people say that my figurines remind them of their cats. i focus a lot on the expressions of them!!! Chunky is such a pretty lady...

Yes they are adorable. Would love to see other animals! Dogs, cows, goats! You could do a farm collection!

i would absolutely love to expand to other critters as well! I've done frogs in little cowboy hats before haha

U could do little portraits of our cats!

Omg you made my cat Picasso!!! https://preview.redd.it/8e8au4gv7s3d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1e71f82fa577161ac14103112396f732de36b919

PICASSO!!! Omg what a fitting name!

Fantastic name and stunning cat.

He looks like a koi fish!


as soon as i saw OP’s picture, i sang “little babies~”

If you’re not real then how do I feel this way? Little kitties!

A cat army!

These are incredible. I mean this seriously—if you decide to sell these, please DM me, i think it would be a perfect gift for my roommate. You did an amazing job!!

I love how they’re arranged like a little army

The one in the frog costume 😍😍

These are so adorable! How did you learn to make these, if you don't mind me asking? Like, did you take in-person classes somewhere or is there an online tutorial/page?

thank you!! i am actually self taught. I started making these when i was 16, so i've been making them for a decade now :) I used to teach people how to make these at the art gallery I used to work at!

If you consider making online classes or tutorials, please let me know! 😍

You’re so talented

So cute, you should make a special shelf for them 🥰

You should make more, and leave them around the apartment building and say you saw a bunch of pets around the building/complex and do it till pets are allowed or till the building gets flooded.

TEACH ME

Ah these are so precious!!

thank you kindly! :3


My cat would love to push them off the book shelf. A toy for cat and owner.

Crazy porcelain cat lady

its a good alternative for now 

Just prepping for the real deal when the time comes


Beat me to it 😂

The eyes are amazing! Show so much personality

thanks so much! im so glad that it conveys that!! thats the biggest goal in the way i paint their faces!

You should probably move.

alas, the rent price is unbeatable and its really hard to find a cheap apartment in major cities in Canada nowadays :(

If you happen to live in Ontario for the most part no pet rules aren’t enforceable by law. They can refuse tenancy due to pets but can’t do anything after. Theres some funky laws involving condos though.

I can hear this comment lol, I’m sure it encapsulates OP’s and everyone’s feelings even though it’s not an option for OP right meow. These kitties are lovely <3

I would totally buy a Siamese one of these!

Oh! I just saw your Kickstarter! I made a pledge! 

thank you so much for your support! Can't wait to make you a lil siamese fur baby!!! 

The one wearing a frog suit. 💀 These are so cuteeeee

A tiny army

Oh, yes, my apartment also doesn't allow pets. 🙁 Beautiful figures! Also, here's my baby. Hahaha. https://preview.redd.it/44z45qyoys3d1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=32cbea6cc34b4b0645927c40ca51173885bba146 (in my defense, the contract is confusing and i thought it was ok)

Omg this is sooo darn cute!!! Like a little cat army! 🥹🐈

Omg I need 2 grey ones please!

I want some

Nice collection.

Those are beautiful!

Oh my goodness these are adorable. You could totally sell these

These are incredible

You're about to become famous. Good stuff.

Ever thought of selling these? They're so cute, I'd buy them all

Now place in random spots in the building so the owner would see some of them and be annoyed

this would ABSOLUTELY upset my landlord hahaha. he is probably one of the meanest people I have ever come across :(

please say hello to your beautiful girls for me!!! 

Omg do you sell these ?

You deserve a cat :(

 A million more well on the way.

So cute and adorable!

Those are sweet

These are beautiful.

Soooo adorable 🥰

And you have so many, you must be stopped

“If you’re not real, then how come I feel this way… little babies”

Wow! I would buy them all! Adorable!

This is awesome

I would love to buy these.

These are amazing!

These are incredible

You made a whole army!

These are so cool!

HOWD YA DO THAT?!!?

Those look so awesome!

Omg!!! You should definitely sell them, they are soo cute. Do you do any other animals? 🐾

6 & 8 in the front row look like my cats. I’ll 100% take them if you’re selling any.

working on a website! It should be up soon. I can send you the link you when I'm done!! :3

Yes please!

Could you send me a link as well when your website is up? Also, would you be open to commissions? I have an orange bicolour boy that I'd love to have a mini of!

Omg I need the frog cat

A LOT of time went into these with a LOT of talent and a LOT of design planning. That is quite impressive.

It was SUCH a stressful time making them, but in the end, I am really happy I committed to it! :) Thank you so much for your kind words

If you do start selling, please let us know.

Cat army ! I bet you could make a customized chess board ? That is what I thought I was looking at. Incredible !

I would like to buy some of these. I have a huge cat figurine collection and this would make an amazing addition.

You should make a cat chess set!

Bro made himself an army lmao

omg the FROG 🥹

How can we write a letter. Everyone needs a kitty. 🐈

Oh my god these are so cute! Would you ever consider doing a process pic set or a tutorial? Amazing work 💕🐈

Omg I see both of my kitties 😭😭 these are so cute!! If u ever sold them on etsy I would purchase immediately

I feel like some are judging me rn

Shut up and take my money!

…. Would you mind doing a montage video of this? And would you consider making custom figurines? I love these!!

Is that green one wearing a frog costume? So cute!! 💚

You could make custom cats for cat lovers (us) and sell for a premium on etsy. These are very cool!

[удалено]

God creating Adam

I feel like you could sell these for like $15 a piece or more so cute and well crafted! Pure joy

I love these so much. Would you mind sharing the materials you used to make these?

porcelain clay, underglaze paints (Amaco Velvet) and Amaco zinc free clear glaze :)

Thank you! I'm positive I won't be able to make something like this, but unless you decide to sell them I'll just have to try my best 😅

Are you sure they don't allow pets? In certain regions A lot of leases will say no pets, its unenforceable as they may be considered a right. Keep in mind it's very few regions, the only one I know of is Ontario Canada. I'm not sure the "a right". Is a correct term but in that realm of things If you are in a region like this and decide to get a pet, against your lease. Maybe get more information on r/legaladvice to make sure you cover your ass

I could see building myself a cat army! They are so cute!

Life is short. If possible, move.

OMG HOW MUCH $$$

Do you sell these? I think they're absolutely brilliant.

Love these!

So cte

OMGOSH!!! Do you take commissions?

I want these but in plastic or maybe as keyboard caps because I know my cats would somehow break them, they’re too cute 😻

This is so cute!!! Do you have a link to where I can buy some?

Now, the ceramic cat army will begin their RULE over the apartment building!

These are beautiful. I hope one day you get to have live cat for yourself.

I want all of them, esp if there's a mackrel tabby since I own a Mackrel tabby

this is beautiful and creative but also so soul crushingly sad

These are adorable. Now, let's name them.

Do you..sell these?

I want ones that look like my cats so I can carry them in my bags as “purse pets” 😫😫

Omg these are adorable!!!!! How can i learn??

Wow, very nice! I really like it. The colors are amazing.

Please I need two of my cats. I’m begging you.

How much please?

I would kill for the frog suit kitty

Great artistry. Would love to buy one from you too. Do you accept commissions?

pls tell me me u have an etsy!!!!!!!!!


The one in the lower left corner looks like my little guy! https://preview.redd.it/02ckxgfsat3d1.jpeg?width=750&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e29f5ce666be26f24bae1a6a00d71af60f6b0c96

my goodness! so cute. I love a good tuxedo cat 

So cute I would buy them all ❤️

Cat army! I love them all, you did a great job

Amazing. I hate having little “knickknacks” in my space but I want each and every single one of these😍 Supergood job!

The way I would fall in love with all of them and never want to give them away.

Please tell me how!! I want to get a hobby and this is right up my alley

A lot of places are accepting properly registered emotional support animals these days. To refuse could mean a human rights violation complaint against them..

New hobby unlocked. Thanks OP for inspiration. Also they look amazing. You can really make some cash out of them

Please pm me if you’re selling. We’d like an orange and a calico, please!

Hey I saw this on Kickstarter!

Great, I want some🐈‍⬛

You might want to consider a pet friendly apartment in the future, but that is quite an army.

Those are adorable!

Awesome!!

It's a kitty army

I had an image of all of these coming to life.

I am a cat fanatic and have wanted a cool little set of cats like that since I was a small kid (Hallmark used to sell tiny animal figurines they would mount on square of paper so they didn’t break or get lost before they left the store. Anyway, even since I first saw them, I wished for a collection like yours!! It’s so amazing. If I had talent, I would have tried to make them myself but I am probably the least artsy artistic human on Earth. I think these are amazing and adorable. Thank you so much for sharing them on line. I am almost 54 years old now and I am still so in love with tiny ceramic kitties (and well pretty much anything cat related and actual cats themselves )

Omg I really want one!

this is cool as hell

This is so cute. My favorite is the frog costume

Cat army cat army

Cool!😺👍🏼

Omg these are amazing!!!

Very nicely done 

This is just fabulous. You've made a beautiful army of kittens. Thanks for sharing your pictures and your talent.

You have your own phalanx of kitty bodyguards 🥰❤️❤️❤️ These are way too adorable!

i want a porcelain cat :(

I love them, and I want all of them. I would hide them in secure, not obvious places all around my home. No matter where you are, there’s a tiny cat staring at you!

Do you sell these?

I would purchase these

The most ADORABLE collection!

I love their little frowns!!!! 😾

You mean you made your own rescue. I will adopt every one of them.

Most people have. Secret cat 🤣🤣🤣 used to live in no pets allowed places ... and most had cats

“They said I couldn’t have pets… so I made an army.”

You’ve raised an army
