An R. Wachtmeister cat illustration

Rosina's cat fascination

20 Jan 2015 | From Celine Adrienne of Germany 

POSTCROSSING SWAP

This is the third postcard inside Celine's envelope - an whimsical cat illustration from Rosina Wachtmeister. Rosina Wachtmeister (born in Vienna, 1939) is an Austrian artist, maker of, for instance, cat sculptures and portraits. She is a self-confessed cat lover, and her works of impressive and intensive colours, come into being in her artistic domain in a small town in Umbria, not far from the Italian capital city. She creates an electrifying intoxication of colours that spreads pure energy.

In addition to the enchanting colourful cats, coffee cups and many other gift and decorative accessories bear the unmistakable signature of the artist Rosina Wachtmeister. Check out her official site here.

Three cats in a card

My pet cat

20 Jan 2015 | From Celine Adrienne of Germany 

POSTCROSSING SWAP

This is one of the three postcards inside an envelope that Celine sent me. Two are cat postcards - she thought of sending me those as she believed I collect cat postcards. Unconsciously I may have been collecting cat-themed postcards. I am fond of cats and have received some cat postcards over my Postcrossing years.

At the back of the postcard is a cat sticker (top) and a cat painting (below) I supposed she drew by herself. She asked if I have any pet cats. I used to, but now we have a family cat and she lives with my family in our hometown. She's a Birman, also called the "Sacred Cat of Burma". Her name's Nami. But my niece kept calling her Nognog.

OFFICIAL POSTCROSSING

Here's another cat postcard for my unintentionally grow cat-theme postcard collection :p Although I have never listed cats in my postcard wishlist, I am still receiving a number of cat inspired postcards even from some penfriends I met outside Postcrossing. But I'm not complaining. I love cats. Especially the black ones :) Hmm... maybe I should make a separate label link for my cat postcards :D
