Melanie is using faint photo transfers as the base for her embellished fabric paintings

These are very expressive pet portraits that convey a sense of each cat's personality. Wonderful concept!

Good choice of quilting pattern, but quilting should fill the space more completely to squash down the puffy areas such as in the corners.

As mentioned in class, the gray cat could benefit from a bit of contrast with thread painting. I love the branch of leaves & flowers on both but wish there were a few more leaves & flowers scattered and extended into the border.

You've portrayed these kitties as very curious and lovable...great job
