Shimshi's Wintery Caturday Art and Sunday Selfies

Hallo again, Effurrybuddies!

Guess whose turn it is this week to repurresent the J-Cats in the weekend blog hops - the Caturday Art blog hop, hosted by the Wise and Beautiful Athena and her HuMum, Marie, and the Sunday Selfies blog hop, hosted by the Deliciously and Predictably Unpredictable Kitties Blue and their HuMom, Janet.

That's right! ME - The Mighty Shimshon (Shimshi for short), Furrst of My Name,  a.k.a. The Little Purrince, a.k.a. The Baby Mancat, Master of the Queen's Mischiefs and Captain-of-the-Guard!

We have chosen two selfies this week, and artified each one with a blend of effects from LunaPic. And then, We did something festive with the pictures, as you will see later.

Furrst up, here is a pawtrait of  Me, guarding the entrance to My Our Teleportation Tunnel:






















We artified this with a combination of Landscape at 80% and Bridge, at 37%:






















And here I am, enjoying the company of My Own Reflection on a chilly morning:






















The artsy-fartsy effects here were created using Candy at 55%, with a light overlay of Picasso at 10%:





















We are furry pleased with the effect of both of them - and so were the owners of this Blogville chocolaterie, who asked Our purrmission to decorate their store front with giant posters of these Works of Art:

























Finally, We used a couple of seasonal frames from PhotoFunia for the Original Photos,  to create a festive mood. You could do the same, to create lovely Chrissymouse/Hanukkah prezzies!
















And here are the blog hop badges, before We She fur-gets:


        



That's all for now. See you again next week, same Cat Time, same Cat Channel.

Till then - be well. Be safe. We love you all.

Sir Shimshi, these are great poses. Were you planning on teleporting over here to see me? That would be great fun. I have a box but no tunnel so I am stuck at home. Precious

What wonderful seasonal artwork you have this week, Shimshi. Mrs H likes the first image, and me the second. But both are worthy candidates for festive cards and chocolate shops.
We wish you all a treat filled festive holiday, full of much love, sharing and joy.

That artwork turned you into a chocolate-ginger kitty! I love how you put your photo in the shop window.
