Inscrutable Cats Tote Bag

I create my own “fabric” swatch by printing the pattern on medium-weight cotton fabric using a commercial quality fabric transfer and my heat press to ensure even coverage, then stitch up the rest of the bag with navy blue trim, backing and 24″ twill woven handles. Bags may vary slightly in size, but are just about 17″W x 13″H.



About the artwork

Inscrutable Cats tote bag

Inscrutable Cats tote bag

“Inscrutable Cats” began as an ink sketch of one of my cats, which I then took into my graphics program to colorize the art and lay out the pattern. They all look at me like this, but this is more patterned after Jelly Bean, who sat by the window atop a box so that his face and front body was entirely in a deep shadow. Resting, his eyes are slits, and sometimes he simply closes them and takes a nap, but sitting up. I looked at him and thought, “Inscrutable”, as his expression seemed to be, and actually was since I really had no idea what he might be thinking.
