A cat sits the way only a cat can — back straight, ears up, entirely certain the world will come to her. This one does it in glossy black glass, bead by bead, with a free-hanging beaded tail that swings out to the side and refuses, like all cat tails, to keep still.

Ears at the top, paws at the hem, and that tail moving with every step you take. Worked row after patient row in the round.

No two identical. Arrives gift-ready.

Sold as a pair. Czech glass seed beads, stainless-steel ear hooks. Recommendations: do not wet, protect from chemicals and perfume, store flat. All items are handcrafted, so measurements are approximate, colors can vary and each one is unique.

The tale of this motif

Folk motifs carry meanings older than writing — poppies guard the home, wheat calls the harvest, birds watch over travellers.

Field note № 7

Beads for the night side

Black glass has a long memory: Victorian mourning jewellery was strung from it, and a black-ground gerdan makes every red burn brighter. Our skulls, bats and serpents are beaded exactly like the poppies — the same seed beads, the same hands in Ukraine — only the motifs have changed.
