We found a Goebel cat brooch by Rosina Wachtmeister recently at an antique/junk shop in Newtown. It is a playful thing and it made me think of the work of Charles and Ray Eames, so bought it. It's well designed, beautifully made and even though it is a brooch it sits up very nicely on a shelf.
Rosina Wachtmeister was born in Vienna and now lives near Rome. She studied sculpture and scenic design in Brazil.

I don't have a cat now but we did have many years of enjoying the antics of Frank and Lou who adopted us when they were kittens 20 years ago. These quick and fun cat drawings are both inspired by the Goebel brooch as well as Frank and Lou.

Love those cats Nancy, they are very playful and vigorous - the first drawing has wonderful movement - terrific!
ReplyDeleteHi Nancy, a surprising Eames find ... a you tube of the 1977 "Powers of Ten" doco by ... the Eames Brothers. Not at all feline, but evidence that Scandinavian design is central to the universe!! Soz
