Cat
Clawed Furniture Art
Written by Dr. Laxmi Iyer
Are
you ashamed of all your sofa and armchair rests? Do they
have a typical, ragged worn out look from many years of
being scratched and clawed.
Don't
throw away furniture that you think is totally worn out
and useless thanks to your cat's merciless clawing and
scratching all over the furniture. You don't have to worry
anymore. Hope and help are at hand.
Convert
them into works of great art! Seriously! All you need is
to add a few easy, master strokes and they will become a
fashionable work of art.
Get
together with some friends who have similar problems. Group
together and hold an exhibition. You can even do that for
a good cause by giving some proceeds of the exhibition for
a pet charity close to your neighbourhood.
All
you need to do is separate out what you consider is the
most damaged part of the furniture.
Next
depending upon how it looks - with a few clever twists with
the carving knife, you can give your worn-out furniture
some very interesting shapes.
Depending
upon the wood that you have, you can add some natural streaks
and give it a beautiful play of light and dark shades with
a little bit of dark and light shades of furniture polish
or even some dark shade of paint or even ink or coal.
While
working with wood, always try to make sure that you work
with the flow of the natural pattern of the grain.
Depending
upon how it looks, your natural looking work of art jointly
conceived and crafted by you and your pet can either be
framed or left alone as an interesting work of art.
