Not all those who wander are lost. Some are just out for flowers and a breath of fresh air. And on that note ...

Francophile Feline Friday : Roman Holiday in Paris

16.10.20

Ella's Roman Holiday in Paris illustration © Shell Sherree all rights reserved

When you can't decide between a Roman Holiday and a Parisian one ... why choose?!

Today's illustration demonstrates the scenario, should you wish to replicate such a move. And Ella the catwalk kitty has arranged a makeover of the Arc de Triomphe to put her feline stamp on the location. Better that than other ways of marking territory! So don your crisp cottons and relaxed linens, rev up your scooter and let's get ready to Meep-meep and Vroom-vroom. And on that note ...

Feline Friday : When Life Gives You Wool Balls

10.7.20

Ella in Wool Ball Wonderland . black cat fashion illustration © Shell Sherree all rights reserved

When life gives you wool balls: knit a jumper!

Today's illustration, however, sees that scenario unlikely to happen. This wool ball wonderland is far too tempting for our fashionable feline, who is currently assessing the degree of difficulty imposed by today's wardrobe choice versus the upwards trajectory required in order to unravel those dangling delights irrevocably. I predict she will overcome the necessary odds and still make it home in time for dinner. And on that note ...

Furry Friends Friday : Woodland Nymphs and One Acorn's Work

19.6.20

Woodland Nymphs pomeranian dog and cat fashion illustration © Shell Sherree all rights reserved

If you're going to plant an acorn, you might as well be comfortable while you're at it!

Today's fashion and fluffballs illustration sees a very cute Pomeranian pup ready to start digging. Our black cat mascot, on the other hand, is ready for her nap. She figures the acorn knows how to DIY. And on that note ...

Fashionable Friday : Feather Duster X Tea Cosy X ShellSherree Collab

22.5.20

Lilac Feathered Fashion x What is Done in Love quote art illustration © Shell Sherree all rights reserved

You saw it here first: the ultimate in #stayathome DIY fashion design crafting! Meet Feather Duster X Tea Cosy X ShellSherree. A match made in upcycling heaven.

Today's illustration sees what happens when so much time in isolation gets you creative with jazzing up your dressing gown for a stroll around the block. You'll need a feather duster, a tea cosy and some creativity. A thick slurry of flour and water with deft weaving should hold your aspirations together long enough to return home with some feathers ruffled but hopefully all intact. And in the words of Vincent Van Gogh, 'What is done in love is done well.' So no matter what the world brings, let's focus on love. And on that note ...

Furry Friends Friday : Cat Wisdom 101 - Be Yourself

Black Cat art illustration quote - Be Yourself, Everyone Else is Taken (Oscar Wilde) © Shell Sherree all rights reserved

When you're staying home and your scratching pole isn't getting out the workout it needs - perhaps it's time for a beautiful caftan!

Today's cat illustration sees our resident Ella the Catwalk Kitty feeling comfortably Rubenesque and curvy. There's a time and place to shun snacks and hit the treadmill - and it's not in the midst of global topsy turvy. And on that note ...

Happy Furry Friends Friday!

Feline Friday : It's Never Too Late (Cat Wisdom 101)

13.3.20

Ella the Catwalk Kitty in Dior - Cat Wisdom art quote illustration © Shell Sherree all rights reserved

"It's never too late to be what you might have been." (George Eliot)

Today's fashionable illustration sees Ella the Catwalk Kitty taking this quote in her stride and strutting her stuff in Dior, complete with a tie-dye bandana that I doubt she made in craft class. Personally, I'm not a little offended that she chose that over her Shell Sherree Leopard Scarf but what can I say ... she's a cat of her own mind and no-one tells her what to do. And on that note ...

Feline Friday : Why Fit In When You Were Born to Stand Out (Cat Wisdom 101)

28.2.20

Cat quote art illustration in Valentino Red - Why Fit In - Dr Seuss © Shell Sherree all rights reserved

Red. The colour of passion, love and in this case - a possible resemblance to a lobster. Apologies to Valentino, who dressed Ella especially for today's quote illustration - but our resident catwalk cat does love lobster (as long as someone else has done the dirty work), so #sorrynotsorry. And on that note ...

Up, up and away ... while the sun shines, let's make hay!

Today's cat illustration sees our intrepid black kitty cat boldly going where quite probably at least one cat has gone before. But this is no fishing basket - you'll find no pilchards nor sardine fragrance infused here: just friends, flowers and well-needed good cheer. And on that note ...

Francophile Friday and Festive Fun : Pink Scooter, Louboutins and Festive Fashion

20.12.19

Christian Louboutin Paris, Pink Scooter and Festive Fashion illustration © Shell Sherree all rights reserved

The year's flown by faster than this pink scooter in Paris with its merry cargo, it seems!

Today's illustration is a blast from a Christmas past and shows our stylish lassie zooming by the window of Christian Louboutin in Paris. Not only has this past year flown, this past decade has flown, too. I just realised I've not stopped to reflect yet on the significance of a decade ticking over and 2020 just around the corner. But really, that's probably a good thing. Too much navel gazing in the rear view mirror can take us away from living in the today.

That said, I'm incredibly grateful for all the blessings in my life, in the past, in the now and for all those yet to come. Thank you for your visits here, however frequent or rare. Wishing you a magnificent Christmas and a contented, peaceful and happy New Year. And on that note ...

Leap of Lovely Leopards - Leopard Print Italian Silk Scarf © Shell Sherree all rights reserved

What's better than one leopard print? A gorgeous silk scarf illustrated with loads of them!

For the past few months I've been working on creating a beautiful, illustrated silk scarf for you to make part of your life. Because when it comes to art, why should walls have all the fun?! And why stop at one leopard print when you can have oodles of them at the one time!

After illustrating nine lovely leopards and helping them land on their paws into a stylish design, off to Italy they traveled, where these pretty paper leopards were transformed into wearable Italian silk twill ones to put a spring in your step and light up your life.

Curvy cats have more fun ... just ask this one!

Today's fashionable illustration sees our black cat ready for an elegant soiree in Paris. Black tie is optional, so she's run with a gold collar instead - minus the bell lest she scare off any suitors. It's hard to get good tom cats nowadays. And on that note ...

When someone asks you to stop fluffing around, all the more reason to up the ante, I say.

Today's fashion and fluffballs illustration sees us unleashing the full fluffy in an aqua gown with a hint of upturned flower in its construction. That and a healthy nod to fairy floss. Who says you can have too much of a good thing?! A party pooper, that's who! And on that note ...

Feline Friday : Wine Time and Chin-Chin

21.6.19

Tabby Cat Wine Time fluffy cat illustration © Shell Sherree all rights reserved

Bottoms up!

Today's illustration sees this napping tabby being the finest form of cat and choosing to ignore this cheery directive. Fair enough, I say.

According to a token online search in order to bring you something resembling researched content, this cheerful expression quite likely comes from ye olden golden days when British sailors were bribed to join the navy courtesy of a coin at the bottom of their glass or bottle. This cute kitty cat is clearly all over that ruse and has decided to follow the Chin-Chin school of celebration instead. And on that note ...

Happy Feline Friday to you!

PS: Take this sweetheart home by adding to cart at the link here. No feeding required! Chin-chin, chop chop and ciao for now, baby.

Friday Fleurish : A Finesse of Felines

Hello Gorgeous flower shop cats in window illustration © Shell Sherree all rights reserved

If there's anything finer than a shopful of flowers, it's a finesse of felines!

Today's illustration sees a furry trio of kitty cats enjoying their view. This flower shop is fictitious but if ever I was to open one, it might very well look something like this. The original inspiration comes from London florist and event stylist firm By Appointment Only Design. By Jove, how lovely!

So come, let us ponder on petunias and brush up on our begonias. And stock up on salmon for the little ones waiting patiently here. And on that note ...

Happy Friday Fleurish to you!

Francophile Friday : Our Lady Notre Dame

19.4.19

Feline Firefighter and Notre Dame Gargoyle illustration © Shell Sherree all rights reserved

This poor gargoyle and its companions have had an exceptionally rough day at the office.

Today's illustration says Thank You to the brave pompiers - firefighters - of Paris who risked their lives to save Notre Dame and all she holds dear for so many. They are now a special part of her history. Bless them all and methinks some divine intervention as well. Amidst the heavy sadness and heartbreak over the beauty, history and craftsmanship that has been lost, thank heavens for all that has miraculously been saved. And on that note ...

Happy Francophile Friday to you.

Francophile Friday : Paris Cafe Coffee Feeling Rosy

Cafe au lait, green tea or me?

Today's fashionable furry friends illustration sees our charming black kitty cat in a rosy mood. Either that or a thorny one. Come to think of it, she looks somewhat insistent. Our freckled fawn Frenchie is more concerned with the arrival of Croissant O'Clock. It's good to have clear priorities. And on that note ...
