Bella! Dishtowel, Large Design, Various Color/Pattern Towels

My “Bella!” design is imprinted with heat transfer vinyl on the bottom edge of an 18″ x 24″ woven cotton dishtowel. I hand sew the green button eyes using black quilting thread for extra wear. Only the designs/colors shown below are currently available.

Bella models her dishtowels.

If you had any doubts that the real Bella’s eyes were as big and round and pale green as buttons, she is here to prove to you that yes, they really are. She was the inspiration for this design, and when I created this design I got as close to the real thing as I possibly could. I went to photograph this new style of dish towels and Bella was napping on the table where I wanted to photograph them. I hoped she might want to wake up and interact with the dishtowels in some way, and what a star, she turned around and did this!

I saw a gingham dishtowel with a black cat silhouette printed on it and gave that a try Bella! on the white with black Rinnig towels at IKEA. When I went back for more I found all these colors!

I also decided to try a new size for the Bella! design. Originally she was about 8″ wide at the bottom of a tri-folded towel. When the towel was open she was tiny down there!

I had this idea to make her extend nearly all the way across the bottom and when it’s tri-folded her face is on the first panel as if she’s peeking around the edge. When you open the towel she’s all there!

The towels seem to be in good supply and they’ll be available for a while, so I feel confident in offering these towels in quantity but for now the patterns/colors you see here are the only ones in stock. I’ll be printing more soon now that I’ve seen they work well on these colors.

Original Bella! Tote Bag with the black kitty silhouette

O.M.Geeeee! It’s Bella! On a bag with green button eyes just like her big round eyes! Bella, in silhouette, is stenciled at the bottom of a bag and with just big blue-green eyes that are two-hole buttons sewn on with black thread.

Based on one of my sketches of Bella from shortly after she arrived here simply called “Bella”, I pulled out the scan of the little painting and refined the design in Photoshop. Bella’s eyes are not yellow green, they are a cooler blue-green, and I found pretty close to a good color for her. Others don’t live in a house full of housepanthers, so I added the white, gray and ginger kitties who are her foster friends.
