The Cheshire Cat Ornament Design Process
When I choose to design a collection, I usually make my decision driven by an emotional connection. Sometimes, I may have a connection with less popular characters. So these characters are pushed to the top of the list. Selecting which characters to bring to life is not an easy task. Unfortunately, for cat lovers and fans of the Cheshire Cat, this character did not make it in the first group I chose to create.
After the initial launch of the Alice in Wonderland collection, I received many requests to create the Cheshire Cat. Based on popular demand, a few years later, I added the Cheshire Cat to the collection!
Without many original illustrations for reference, I decided to depict this playful character with a big smile. Also, I wanted to make sure his nutty personality would not go unnoticed. So, I gave the Cheshire Cat a big smile and mischievous green eyes. Secondly, I gave him a two-tone curled-up tail, and an unruly hairdo. Like the rest of the animal characters, I clothed him with a stiff collar shirt and bowtie. Finally, I thought that the Cheshire Cat himself should have a touch of bright colors worthy of his craziness. Beside the predominant black fur, I added a pinch of non-traditional colors such as turquoise, periwinkle, cyan, teal and terracotta.
