Second on the 2nd: Cat collage

 

I created this collage in March, 2008.  It was from a larger set of collages.

   The background is made from scraps of paper, all of which were mounted on butcher paper, then cut to size. The cat is from an old (2002) Humane Society desk calendar from which I've been getting a lot of images. I outlined the cat using a black Zig pen.

I've been saving this quote because it is so like Bleubeard. I couldn't resist using it, and knew it was fate when Bleubeard jumped up in my lap as I was looking at the completed page. He normally doesn't allow me to photograph him, but I got two really good shots of his face, one of which is now my blog banner (and has been since 2008).  

EDIT: In case you need a translation:

Most cats, when they are out want to be in and vise versa and often simultaneously.
