stacking dogs or cats
« on: February 19, 2018, 10:56:46 pm »
Hi
I saw a pattern on Etsy of cats that stack and dogs.   I wrote to see if he sells the pattern or where he might have bought it, but no answer.
has any one see this pattern before?    would love to have it.

Thank you.

Looking at the link you provided , Maybe the seller made the pattern himself , Cant you do something similar , get some free cat silhouettes join them up as you like then cut them out

If you google "cat jenga" you can get all sort of pictures. 

If you look on amazon they are hugely expensive.  In Canada, $46 for just six cats.  There are 4 sets too.  I would be surprised if the guy will sell pattern.

Lorace, Not sure if this is something that might work for you or not, but I found them on ToymakingPlans.com: http://www.toymakingplans.com/website/SnazzyToys/SnazzyToys.html. I also checked Steve's pattern catalog, but did not find what you are looking for.

Good luck on your search.

I know this isn’t cats or dogs but here’s another stacking plan and with the 50% current discount from Steve’s newsletter with 2 plan purchase this is a bargain. http://www.toymakingplans.com/website/PlanSets/AstronautAcrobats.html
Give it a try —

I took the picture and freehanded the cats.  Did 6 so far.  Some not as realistic as the original but I will see if the Grandkids play at all with them.  I couldn't see if these were copy write as they are on Etsy and available from China.

Thank you for all the info.   I am going to go look at all of them tonight.   
Love the kittens you have done so far.    I can not draw at all.
Thanks again. Lorace

Greetings,
These are not as pictured in your link but, perhaps you can use them or will find them cute.

I freehanded what I saw and got 24 different cats.

Some are better than others but the grandkids have played around and seem to like them.

I cut from 1/2 BB.

I have made my attempt with the stacking dogs.

Googled "royalty free dog sillohettes ' and found a vector drawing.  Resized and came up with 30 dogs.  It says for non commercial use only check with owner.  Owner is a chinese web site. 

Cut a dozen so far.  Using 1/2 BB.  Each 2 1/2 to 3 inches tall. 

Made it to 11 and crash.
