Our friend Michelle Allen is a wonderful artist.  At some point, she was apparently inspired by Miss Tulip Kitty because she made this adorable Tulip Kitty clock:

If you go to the FlickR photo stream on the right, you can see a larger version of these photos so you can get a closer look at the details. It’s beautiful! Miss Moo was very interested in checking it out as well:

Unfortunately, I couldn’t get Tulip to come join in the fun. She was a little bit intimidated by the both of us trying to coax her over. I’ll have to get a picture of her with it at some point. The stripes on the face and legs are hilarious.Tu’s stripes are my favorite feature of hers, so it’s fun to see them accentuated here. And I love the little birds. The one on the pendulum at the bottom swings back and forth.  Thank you so much, Michelle, for the awesome gift!  We love it.

Please take some time to check out more of Michelle’s artwork.  She has many cool clocks and pieces of art available at Allen Designs.  I’m not sure if she has more of the Tulip Kitty clock or not, but I’ll find out and report back!

** I checked with Michelle.  She does have more of the Tulip Kitty clocks.  They are not listed on her website.  However, if you’d like to purchase one, you can contact her directly through the Allen Designs website.
