Each fundraiser, I craft a little telethon set, and I place our foster kittens on this set and photograph them "answering" the phones. I use the photos to help solicit donations.
I dwell in two worlds, cats and crafts, and this set is where these worlds merge.
Please allow me to give you a tour of this year's design! It's the sparkliest one yet!
The walls were covered with a groovy, marbled cotton paper. On the walls hang portraits of IBKC alumni framed in gold.
The tufted, kitten-sized couch was constructed with styrofoam and fleece. To the create the side tables, I covered metal containers in cotton paper and fleece.
The stage curtain is polkadot tulle over a screen-printed cotton paper. The blue "shag" carpet is a scrap of fun fur.
A paper maiche "IBKC" was glittered and attached to the left wall.
The desk has a scalloped, glittery top and is covered with a scrap of my favorite paper ever - Hambly Screenprints "Grandma's Wallpaper".
The stage has a coordinating scalloped border.
On the desk, tiny phones and a typewriter. At the desk, Delphine and Evie Kibblesmith, two of our current foster kittens.
Tiny, plastic glittered cats roam the set. Delphine rests on the couch.
All the cats in the house take a shift on the phones. Here's our permanent resident, Wylla Stout, taking her turn.

PS A big thanks to find folks at Beacon Adhesives for sending me nice a selection of glues to help construct this set!
