Photog Makes Whimsical Art With Carpet, Construction Paper and Cat
Photog Makes Whimsical Art With Carpet, Construction Paper and Cat
California photographer Theresa Knudson had an epiphany when her cat Fluffy was sleeping on a blue carpet during a hot day.
“I cut out some construction paper balloons, fish, clouds, etc. and laid them down around him,” Knudson tells The Fluffington Post. “I stood on my sofa and shot from above.”
The rest is Internet history, as the photos have popped up on blogs all over the web. Knudson credits the technique to Jan von Holleben, whom she claims is the master.

Canine Construction Workers’ Union Chides Layoffs
Canine Construction Workers’ Union Chides Layoffs
In a memo released today, the Canine Construction Workers’ Union of America (Local 47) repudiated The Sizemore Group for what it calls “penny-pinching layoffs.”
The real estate developer contracted union dogs to lay cement for five new housing complexes. After only two foundations were complete, the company let go of half the contractors, citing “unnecessary labor.”
The union says Sizemore is running the workers ragged, expecting the same results and speed from half the team.
“The work will end up being shoddy” says Jim Rockland, a union representative. “I wouldn’t want to live in a shoddy house, and I don’t expect Sizemore’s clients to either.”

Feline Family Opens Cat-Themed Bed and Breakfast
The Boylans, a family of 10 cats from New Paltz, NY, have finally realized their dream of owning a small bed and breakfast. Their country cottage, called “The Cat Nap,” is just off of Route 32, and it’s a homey abode where every member of the family works to make their guests feel welcome.
The highlight is the cat-themed decor. Cat pillows, cat sheets, cat lamps – even cat-shaped waffles every morning. Also, it’s run by a family of cats.
