Why I Photograph My Etsy Projects with Spock the Cat

29th October 2011 By stephanie

Many people ask me about why I photograph so many of my Etsy projects with one of my cats, Spock. His white bib provides a great contrast against my subject, and he loves posing for the camera.

 

Other than photos that have Spock in them, I keep my finished projects in sealed plastic containers, to keep cat fur away from them as much as possible. After I take photos, everything goes right back into the boxes.

 

If you have allergies, I’ll be happy to run your purchase through a laundry and dry cycle before sending it to you.

 

I keep these containers in The Bat Cave.

 

 

 

Plastic containers where I keep my yarn and knitting supplies.

I have five of these (and counting!)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here is another of my cats: Elsa.

Elsa, my black DSH (domestic shorthair) "helping" me knit in January 2008. In 2011, she's 13 years old, alive and well, living with my mom in Winnipeg, Canada. Her idea of "helping" me knit was to chew on my needles. if they were plastic, she'd chew the ends off and leave them all raggedly. But you can see the love in her eyes as she snuggled up next to me on the sofa.
