Description de l’éditeur
Last autumn, writer and illustrator Adam Ellis adopted a little three-legged kitten named Maxwell. They don't know how he lost his limb, but Adam assumes it was a shark attack, like that surfing girl in Hawaii. (Just kidding.)
One day, after coming across a pack of coloured paper, Adam started crafting tiny hats for Maxwell and posting pictures of them on Instagram. People loved it so much that he made another one, and another. Before long, he had made a few dozen and they exploded in popularity-Adam's hats were featured on The Huffington Post, E!Online, Buzzfeed UK, Jezebel, Reddit and more!
Now, Adam is sharing his designs with the world so that beloved cats everywhere can share in the fashion craze that is sweeping the internet. The book will feature about 35 hats in total, organised in order of difficulty from easiest to make to hardest to make.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Inspired by a popular picture the author posted on his Instagram account, this whimsical concept book displaying elegant, intricately detailed miniature hats fitted for household cats is both a quirky cat-lover's homage and a viable DIY guide. The book includes instructions for a variety of impressive paper hats, ranging from the standard cowboy hat to the ornate samurai helmet. Photos often show the cats in a state of peaceful contemplation, unsuspecting of their chic headwear. Occasionally the cat perfectly complements the hat, as with the sandwich hat modeled by Maxwell, who is slumped upright on a coach with his belly exposed as though he's just eaten an enormous meal. Though the book's main appeal comes from its models, the craft component ought not to be overlooked. Ellis, an illustrator at Buzzfeed, provides easy-to-follow directions with visual aids for each step.
