My good friend nicknamed her adorable, mischievous kitten Wreck it Ralph and it just tickled my funny bone. This image was originally sold on Squigglefly. I had no clue where to find it since they closed. I emailed Enid Barnes and within 15 minutes she replied and made it available on Etsy. The image was changed to brown and white in Photoshop Elements instead of black and white allowing me to use the warmer colors. He's colored with pencils. Thanks to Enid's beautiful artwork and shading, this one was a joy to color. The twine was wound in loops and tacked on with stitches. Thanks for stopping by.

Nancy, what an adorable story to go with this sweet 'innocent-looking' kitty - your coloring is fantastic and I love the stitching and loopy twine. Great to catch one of your cards today - made me smile!!

Great detective work! This one was worth tracking down. The lines are so expressive. I love the little bit of string that kitty is about to steal We all know our "Ralphs" will snag it in a second!

Now I can make you all jealous because I've seen this IRL and the photo does not do it justice! It's SO adorable.
Nancy the eyes look much better with more black! Excellent coloring my friend.

Nancy, your work is beyond belief!! Looks like I could pet the sweet kittens fur your coloring is so realistic. Such an endearing look on his face. The curled twine is like yarn he might have been playing with.
