The cat, as a work of glass
Every cat owner knows the moments: the cat in the box that arrived for someone else, the cat on the piano keys at dawn, the cat who claims the warm spot the second you stand up. This book celebrates that everyday cat life in stained glass. Each page holds a single cat at home, framed by lead lines that divide the picture into open panes ready for color.
Frames worth a second look
The windows themselves add to the fun. Cats sit inside arches, circles, octagons and even a heart, and the corners of each frame carry small clues to the story inside: the things a cat knocks over, plays with or sleeps beside. Looking from the center out, you can build a page like a real glazier, choosing the cat's coat first and then a frame color that sets it off, or flipping the order for a deep background and a quiet cat.
Coloring that relaxes
Stained glass coloring has a gentle rhythm. Each pane is a closed shape, so the work becomes a calm sequence of choices: one color here, a deeper shade there, a pattern that runs across the window. The panes are roomy, and they reward colored pencil shading as much as solid fills. Many colorists like to match the cats to their own pets, from orange tabbies to tuxedos to calico patchwork, and the finished pages look wonderful framed or taped to a sunny window.
For cat people everywhere
This is a book for the friend whose camera roll is mostly the cat, for the neighbor who feeds every stray on the street, and for anyone who unwinds with a pet on their lap and a pencil in hand. It also makes a sweet present for a new kitten owner, a cat sitter, or a coworker who keeps a cat calendar at the desk. Wrap it with a set of markers and a little catnip toy for the household's other member.
Thoughtful details
Every design printed single-sided, with a blank reverse, so favorites can come out for display. A color test page at the front is there for trying a palette before the first cat.
Part of In Stained Glass
