That is French for Cuckoo. Confused? Let me explain. We are on vaca with Sabrina in Switzerland. What a place! People speak French, German, and many other languages here.
While on an evening walk, I snapped a picture of the moon. Low and behold if I didn't spy Curt coming out of a Cuckoo Clock. You know rumor has it that the moon is made of cheese. From this photo I think I am a believer. hehe
Obviously Curt has been hitting the chocolate a bit too much as his fur has turned a nice shade of brown! Believe me, this is Curt. Don't be fooled by the brown. He even has a tattoo of a chocolate kiss in a silver wrapper on his side. I am afraid he is addicted to the chocolate. It might be time for chocolate rehab. I feel his pain.....card details....
This is another creation of Mutnik's with the help of Curt and her camera. Coloring was done with copics and colored pencils of some kind. Put the panel on a black card adding the white dots with acrylic paint to simulate stars since it is a photo of the moon in the night sky. hehe
Well I hope whoever is the recipient of this card gets a great big tickle! Have a great Teapot Tuesday All......TFL :0)

Your eye for detail is amazing -- I just noticed the little springs...
Curt looks great in a chocolate brown -- he should consider dying his coat milk chocolate all the time. And if I were to get a tattoo (as if!), a Hershey kiss would be a great way to go.

Oh my word - Curt's speaking a foreign language. Foreign for him, that is - bird talk. This is super-fun! I love the cheese background and the black sky, but I even see that there's some cheese waiting as a snack for Curt when he needs a break from chocolate. I thought of you (and him, LOL) so often while we were there.

Oh, Cathy, this is AMAZING! Curt being the cuckoo in the clock, his chocolate fur tattooed with a kiss and the little bell, the clock complete with springs and face, the Swiss cheese moon and every little detail. Just wonderful! ?--is that a face in the grass?

Curt sporting a silver kiss tat? Now I have seen everything. Curt you never fail to make my heart smile. If you need to enter Chocoholics Anonymous, I cannot help you. Keeping my fingers crossed that one day I will have a Mutnik original of Curt to hang in my gallery in my craft room.

Just like Fran says, you, Mutnik and Curt make my heart smile. This creation is a gem Cathy, I almost didn't recognise Curt in the gallery, I must say he wears the colour brown very well. I zoomed in on the little creature in the grass, glad to hear it is a little mouse. Every week i look forward to seeing your card and reading about Curts creative process. You will sure to make a fellow Teapotters heart smile this week.

Oh wow, Cathy, this must be one huge cuckoo clock to fit Curt, especially after getting stuck into the chocolate!!! Love the cheesy bg and your night stars, too!!
