Venice Is Built on Islands | Shadow Box Cat Print

A black cat rests with its paws tucked under, calm and alert. This print reproduces an original collage built from antique paper ephemera. The background is a page from an old penmanship workbook. A student wrote “Venice is built on islands” line after line in careful cursive. Below, a strip of paper washed in soft aqua forms the ground, with faint pencil script showing through. The cat is cut from black-and-gold patterned paper, with a mosaic collar and ears.

It’s a small piece with a lot of charm. It fits on a bookshelf, a desk, or a windowsill, and it makes an easy gift for a cat lover.

Giclée print on heavy fine art paper. Print size: 4 x 6 inches. Presented in a white wood shadowbox frame, 6.5 x 4.5 x 1.5 inches. Stands on a shelf or hangs on the wall.
