Almost is an original textile mixed media artwork created with layered fabric, Swarovski crystals, and Czech glass beads on cradled birch panel. Part of the Whimsical Companions Collection, this richly textured and deeply joyful piece weaves together luminous color, intricate detail, and irresistible storytelling — rooted in the universal longing to belong somewhere just beyond reach.
A determined and dreaming cat stands center stage, fully committed to his plan — a set of fabric wings strapped to his body with a Czech glass bead embellished harness, ready for the flight he has been planning his entire life. His body is constructed from a stunning array of black and white printed fabrics alive with botanical line drawings, swirling patterns, and graphic forms that give him an extraordinary textural complexity. His face is the heart of the piece — expressive, wide-eyed, and gazing upward with hearts literally in his eyes toward the butterflies drifting through the soft blue sky above. One paw reaches upward with the quiet, hopeful certainty of a creature who has absolutely no doubt that today is the day. His wings — large, warm rust and orange fabric forms — are strapped to his back with a beautifully detailed Czech glass bead harness that speaks of serious preparation and complete commitment to the dream. Around him, an abundance of fabric butterflies in every size and color drift through a hand dyed soft blue sky — yellow polka dot, orange swirl, rust, pink, and iridescent — each one embellished with Swarovski crystals that catch the light like tiny sparks of possibility. White fabric flowers with crystal centers bloom at his feet, and lush green fabric foliage grounds the composition in the garden world he longs to leave behind.
Almost is a piece about longing, joy, and the beautiful absurdity of wanting something with your whole heart. This is a piece for the collector who wants a home filled not just with art, but with feeling. This piece is part of the Whimsical Companions Collection.
