Some of Us Have Lost Our Marbles

The Chairman's letterhead complete with his photo and pawprint.

We already know the Kreatrix's marbles have been missing for a long time.

The Kreatrix flat out on her back surrounded by papers, a calculator, a bottle of Advil and the cat doll community.

And...

Cat dolls are sitting in front of an indoor tepee. All we see of the Kreatrix is her legs sticking out.

But now it seems she's passed this disease on to some of my newest community members.

She brought home this hand-dyed fabric from her friend, a well-known tapestry and textile artist, and presented it to me with a flourish:

Behold...I bring you marbled fabric.

So if I understand correctly...her friend Lynda lost her marbles on some expensive raw silk fabric. AND. It's one-of-a-kind, original, yadda yadda yadda.

Ok. It's pretty. But I'm not so sure about people losing their marbles just for the sake of my World Domination plan. Hasn't the world lost enough of its marbles? Seriously, humans.

CAN WE PLEASE GO OUT AND PICK UP OUR MARBLES AND PUT THEM BACK WHERE THEY BELONG???

Sheesh.

So here's the result of people losing their marbles.

Two very cute cats seated with crossed legs. They are made from raw silk marbled fabric.
Seated cat measure 12.5" tall.

So how did marble tossing by humans create these fine chaps but cause so much chaos elsewhere in the world?

SEE WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU THROW YOUR MARBLES IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION?!!!

Dr.  Rascal put Jellybean and Popcorn (don't ask) through the initiation ceremony where they learn how to pose and how to understand humans. You heard correctly.

Dr. Rascal is seated with two other cats. They appear to be deep in conversation.

Jellybean in the Catberry Tails official portrait:

Jellybean is approximately 22" tall (feet to ear tip)

Here is Popcorn from the back.

As shown here, seated height: 12.5" tall

The good news is Jellybean went to a forever home in Boise, Idaho! World Domination is panning out nicely! And Jellybean's new family emailed us some photographs!

Soft sculpture cat sits with a real life black cat.

Jellybean seems to be enjoying his new real live cats named Blackie and Periwinkle.

A real life cat gives Jellybean a sideways look.

Gotta admit, Periwinkle up there seems kinda skeptical about Jellybean. Not to worry. Dr. Rascal trained Jellybean on how to win EVERYONE over.

So I'm off to the backyard where I'm going to practice throwing some marbles around and see what I come up with.

Please pick yours up after you've tossed them...no littering, humans!

    Dearest Chairman - I have known the Kreatrix for a very long time and I can honestly attest to the fact she never had any marbles to lose. She arrived on our fine planet with a lot of very interesting "baggage" that she proceeded to share with us all. Just so you know...

    Well, well, well Teddy,
    Chairman here and I appreciate this most helpful insight as to our Kreatrix "checkered" past. So she came here without marbles, huh? Perhaps I'll buy her a bag of them for Christmas. Maybe she'll feel more at home.

    With Utmost Appreciation,
    The Chair

    Very funny post. Love the pix of RL.cats with beautifully created cats and Kreatrix missing marbles.

    Please keep going and don't lose all your marbles

    Dear Chairman,
    So glad to hear you are planning to buy Kreatrix some marbles for Christmas. Perhaps you could consider getting her some cats-eye marbles (for obvious reasons). By the way, tell Kreatrix that Jellybean and Popcorn are quite spectacular looking creatures!

    WOW! These new cats and materials are AWESOME!!!!! Love, love, love them!
    And of course, the blog post is a joy to read.
    P.S. Kreatrix isn't really losing those marbles: its just that it feels like it cause they so energetically bounce around with all that vibrant creativity that is faster than physical reality!
