Fortune Cat Tapestries

This piece was both referenced and inspired by my lucky cat or in Japanese, maneki neko, collection. I have around 40 scattered throughout my home. Having a lucky cat at home is suppose to bring good fortune and money. Lucky cats mean different things depending on the colour and if it's the right paw or the left paw raise as well as the colour and items they are holding. I find these cute cats lovely to have in the home. For good feng shui, I am told that you need to place them near where you make money and visible to an open door to invite good fortune. Bunnies are hidden throughout the piece. Inked and drawn traditionally and digitally colored and edited in Photoshop.

Whatever forever.

The Answer Will Come if I Look Within Myself

Black cat is thought to be unlucky but not this cat! It is a Japanese good luck cat with a waving paw and holding on to a Koban with the words “招福” (shoufuku) written on it which means invite good luck. The text “運がいい” (ungaii) means “Lucky”.

A funny twist to the Maneki Neko, a Japanese good luck cat that has a waving paw. It holds a cup of bubble tea instead of a Koban coin. Perfect for anyone who loves Japanese culture, cats and bubble tea!
