I worked on this embroidered herald in 2020, during the early days of the pandemic. We were in the middle of a run on toilet paper and cleaning products, school had gone virtual (much to the distress of housebound adults), many people were getting very sick, and the only available antidote to anything was social distancing.

The Latin banner roughly translates to: "Divided we stand, or together we shall fall."

Seattle Public Library staff Art Show entry, 2023. The Making of a Giant Beany Cat. How did we do this? We took apart a beany cat, traced the pieces onto graph paper, and scaled them up using grinder pattern paper to match the scale of those giant eyes.
