"It Ain't Much, But It's Honest Work" Ball Cap Calico Cat
"It Ain't Much, But It's Honest Work" Ball Cap Calico Cat
Standing at about 13.5 cm tall (including the hat) and 12 cm long, this cute cats hat can be removed and acts as a lid - so the cat can hold anything you'd like to store in it!
This ones ball cap says "It Ain't Much, But It's Honest Work" and is based off of an internet meme featuring farmer Dave Brandt. This farmer and quote has a little spot in my heart - because as silly as the meme is, the farmer is known for working on sustainable agriculture techniques, such as no-till farming and cover crops. These types of practices are essential to the continued health and longevity of farmland and soil.
Each piece is wheel thrown as a hollow piece out of a tan mid fire stoneware body. After setting up and becoming leather hard, they are trimmed and then their ears, tail, and feets are added. Next, a hat is thrown on the wheel, dried, shaped, and a hole is cut custom to fit the cat. The face and other colors are hand painted with underglaze before going into the kiln, and it's glaze fired with a strong clear food safe glaze.
The listing is for the behatted cat pictured.
