Sleepy Kitty Pocket-Friend Marble Fidget Spinner
Totally unique and one of a kind!
This sleepy kitty pocket friend is carved to feel beautifully smooth yet textured under your fingers, a happy smile to cheer you up and a free spinning orange cats-eye marble to help you through your days!
Extra free spinning, the marble makes a lovely soft click when shaken and spins with a lovely free action. You can also hold the marble and spin the cat, I enjoy playing with this one very much.
Carved and sanded to have many areas your fingers will love to smooth across, and all the character a pocket friend should have, up to and including its little feet!
Alternately kitty will sit on a windowsill as a sun catcher, or near you just for company, like most cats really. lol
When I created this little friend I carefully put the ages old soot stained side inward before gluing, thus creating a dark line of history, encapsulating the lifetime's worth of smoke this piece of wood has experienced.
The world has enough plastic in it, and I love spinners and fidgets, and could find NOTHING natural when I wanted to treat myself to a few so I invented these, a fidget that does nothing but good in the world.
The wood I carved this one from is most likely heart-wood chestnut, locally grown and cut sometime in the mid to late 1800s.
Currently we are renovating an ancient property in the mountains of Portugal which is the source of the wood I'm using for making fidgets and fidget spinners. The wood is from the kitchen loft and as the house is old enough to still have an open hearth in the kitchen and Roman pottery sherds in the floor, this place, and its wood, has been around for awhile.
As the wood is so old, it has buckets of character in the form of deeply embedded smoke, knots, dark growth lines, beetle holes and places I've pulled ancient nails (most of them hand forged) free, each and every fidget is a unique and beautiful work of art, taking as long to sand to satiny smoothness as they do to carve.
