Today, I want to share the story of a cat named Hazel — a soft, wise soul with a little bell on her collar and a heart full of quiet warmth.
📸Meet Hazel — a regal beauty wrapped in softness and light.
When her human reached out to commission a custom urn, she asked me to capture Hazel just as she was — gentle, peaceful, always surrounded by cozy blankets and soft colors. Not dramatic. Not loud. Just... loved.
🖌️ So I began with the simplest place: her name.
🧚♀️Then came her face — expressive, wise, familiar.
I worked slowly, drawing the tiny details of her fur, her collar, her knowing gaze. Because this wasn’t just an illustration — it was a memory taking shape.
💗 Her name, hand-lettered in soft pinks, like something whispered.
🎨Then I brought her to life in color — Hazel surrounded by a garden of pastel florals. Bright but gentle. Just like her.
💛 This urn now holds more than ashes. It holds a story — of love, of quiet companionship, of everyday warmth.
To Hazel: thank you for bringing so much color to someone’s life. And to her human: thank you for letting me hold this piece of her with my hands.
