Winged Cat Ornaments
by Leigh Snaith-Brunton
The Sharpie Domino Queen

If you love cats and fairies then you’ll enjoy creating my Flights of Fancy kitties.
You could hang them from your ceiling on clear nylon or create a mobile…the possibilities are endless!


Gemstone Faerie Kitty

Celestial Cat Nap

Ginger Fairy Kitty

Gemstone Faerie Kitty

1. To create this hanging ornament first drill a hole horizontally through the top portion of the domino. Do this by first drilling from one side to the center and then finish the hole by drilling from the other side. One of the holes could chip if you simply drill all the way through from one side only.

2. Ink up the Winged Cat - Small (CH-747-C) stamp with coal black Ancient Page dye ink by Clearsnap and stamp the image onto a new shiny white domino and heat set with an embossing heat gun.

3. Ink up the Winged Cat - Large (CH-523-M) stamp with coal black dye ink and stamp the wings onto a sheet of acetate or printer transparency. To set the ink either leave it for approximately 12 hours or gently heat set with an embossing heat gun. Too much heat will make the acetate buckle but you can always experiment…  maybe your kitty fairy will like crinkled wings!

4. Color the domino image and the acetate wings with fine and ultra fine point Sharpie markers.

5. Add adhesive to the acetate wings with a Xyron. Peel off the backing and adhere the wings to silver mirror foil. I recycled a sheet of metallic foil that covered a box of cookies I had at Christmas.  The foil is silver on one side and gold on the other and I thought it would come in very handy one day.

6. Cut out the wings with scissors and edge with a metallic silver DecoColor paint pen.

7. Edge and color the sides of the domino with a broad point metallic silver paint pen.

8. For more sparkle and to seal the sides of the domino apply a coat of Delta CeramCoat Sparkle Glaze with a paintbrush. The glaze dries to a clear iridescent sparkle.

9. To protect the design and to adhere the wings to the domino apply a coat of Judikins Diamond Glaze for a glass-like finish. Do this by dripping a few generous drops of the glaze onto the surface of the domino and quickly spreading it around with your finger.

10. You need to work quickly for this next step before the glaze starts to harden! Carefully place the wings onto the domino and give the wings a little wiggle to make sure the glue has grabbed on nicely and then leave alone to dry.

11. For more fantasy and sparkle embellish all the spots with Diamond Sparkles glitter glue by PSX.

12. Once dry apply a coat of Diamond Glaze to the wings too.

13. Finish off the hanging ornament by threading a length of clear nylon (fishing line) through the holes and secure with a knot. Dab some glue onto the
knot and push the knot back inside the hole to hide and secure it in place.

 

Celestial Cat Nap

1. To create this hanging ornament ink up the Winged Cat Sleeping (CH-524-L) stamp with coal black Ancient Page dye ink by Clearsnap and stamp the cat portion onto a new shiny white domino and heat set with an embossing heat gun.

2. Re-ink the stamp with coal black dye ink and stamp the wings onto a sheet of acetate or printer transparency. To set the ink either leave it for approximately 12 hours or gently heat set with an embossing heat gun. Too much heat will make the acetate buckle but you can always experiment….maybe your kitty fairy will like crinkled wings!

3. Add adhesive to the acetate wings with a Xyron. Peel off the backing and adhere the wings to silver mirror foil. I recycled a sheet of metallic foil that covered a box of cookies I had at Christmas. The foil is silver on one side and gold on the other and I thought it would come in very handy one day.

4. Cut out the wings with scissors and edge with a metallic silver DecoColor paint pen.

5. Color the domino image and the acetate wings with fine and ultra fine point Sharpie markers.

6. Color the teardrops and spots on the wings with RoseArt metallic permanent markers. Outline portions of the wings with the metallic markers too.

7. Edge and color the sides of the domino with a broad point metallic silver paint pen.

8. For more sparkle and to seal the sides of the domino apply a coat of Delta CeramCoat Sparkle Glaze with a paintbrush. The glaze dries to a clear iridescent sparkle.

9. To protect the design and to adhere the wings to the domino apply a coat of Judikins Diamond Glaze for a glass-like finish. Do this by dripping a few generous drops of the glaze onto the surface of the domino and quickly spreading it around with your finger.

10. You need to work quickly for this next step before the glaze starts to harden! Carefully place the wings onto the domino and give the wings a little wiggle to make sure the glue has grabbed on nicely and then leave alone to dry.

11. For more fantasy and sparkle embellish all the spots with Diamond Sparkles glitter glue by PSX.

12. Once dry punch a hole into the wings and add a color coordinating eyelet.

13. Finish off the ornament by threading a length of clear nylon (fishing line) through the eyelet and the napping kitty fairy is ready to hang!

 

Ginger Fairy Kitty 

1. Ink up the Winged Cat - Large (CH-523-M) stamp with coal black Ancient Page dye ink by Clearsnap and stamp the image onto a new shiny Super-sized white domino and heat set with an embossing heat gun.

2. Re-ink and stamp the whole image onto a sheet of acetate or printer transparency. To set the ink either leave it for approximately 12 hours or gently heat set with an embossing heat gun. To much heat will make the acetate buckle but you can always experiment….maybe your kitty fairy will like crinkled wings!

3. Color the domino and the acetate wings with fine and ultra fine point Sharpie markers. Leave the wing areas on the domino white!

4. Color all the spots on the wings with a fine point DecoColor silver metallic paint pen and add some silver dots to the background of the domino.

5. Cut out the wings with scissors and edge with the silver paint pen.

6. Edge and color the sides of the domino with a broad point metallic silver DecoColor paint pen.

7. For more sparkle and to seal the sides of the domino apply a coat of Delta CeramCoat Sparkle Glaze with a paintbrush. The glaze dries to a clear iridescent sparkle.

8. To protect the design and to adhere the wings to the domino apply a coat of Judikins Diamond Glaze for a glass-like finish. Do this by dripping a few generous drops of the glaze onto the surface of the domino and quickly spreading it around with your finger.

9. You need to work quickly for this next step before the glaze starts to harden! Carefully place the wings onto the domino making sure the wings overlap the stamped wings on the domino. Give the wings a little wiggle to make sure the glue has grabbed on nicely and then leave alone to dry.

10. For more fantasy and sparkle embellish all the silver spots with Diamond Sparkles glitter glue by PSX.

11. Finish off the hanging ornament by cutting a length of clear nylon (fishing line) and forming a loop. Secure the loop with a knot and glue to the back of the domino. To further ensure the nylon remains in place and to hide the knot you can embellish the back of the domino with patterned paper, suede paper, felt or fabric.
