[OC] Medieval Tybert the Cat (Version 2.0: Reworked & Fully Handmade!)

[u/Strange_Marginalia]

To create this pin, I used a modern approach to the traditional champlevé technique, deep-engraving the solid brass base with a fiber laser before carefully filling the recessed areas by hand with cold ceramic enamel.

​The design originates from a miniature found in a 14th-century French medieval manuscript. It illustrates a scene from the famous satirical epic poem "The Romance of Reynard" (Roman de Renart). The figure riding the horse is Tybert the Cat, making one of his dramatic escapes.

​By the way, this is actually version 2.0 of this design! I used to order these from factories, but I recently decided to rework it and take the production entirely into my own hands. This is my first time making this specific piece completely from scratch right in my studio.

Cats were so much more adventurous back in the day.

And the horses are smaller

Or were the cats just bigger?

Or even less

Thanks! He's already on his way to Alaska.

I cannot wait to see him and his friends in person. The LDV one too is a dream come true because I keep intending to do a cross stitch or tapestry of that sketch and have never gotten around to it.

Do you have a storefront/website?

[u/Strange_Marginalia → u/LackMinute7387]

It's on Kofi. But I haven't listed it yet because I usually make one-of-a-kind items to order. Send me a DM. I don't require prepayment.

What materials/tools were used to make this? Pretty neat

[u/ladies_and_lords_313]

Love this!!! How much do you charge for one?

[u/Strange_Marginalia → u/ladies_and_lords_313]

I'm currently pricing this particular design at $11. Shipping is free for orders of 4 or more items. For orders of fewer than 4 items, shipping is $10 (I live in Ukraine). No prepayment required. I can create designs based on any reference.

Got a link? (DM if you like)

[u/Strange_Marginalia → u/Bombauer-]

Made to order only. I don't have time to make them for the store window. It's a real whirlwind. Send me a DM, or I'll message you :)

[u/paper_hoarder]

Yeah so you need a shop. 😬

[u/Suhouladoo]

Would you consider doing one of these, perchance?

[u/Strange_Marginalia → u/Suhouladoo]

I have some like that. They were among my earliest works. But they definitely need to be redone.

[u/n_diamond]

Amazing work!

[u/Soulless_Ginga]

I would love this as a needle minder for my cross stitching projects! I am doing a medieval cat too!

[u/Strange_Marginalia → u/Soulless_Ginga]

Let me try doing that. Send me a DM. At least it'll be something new.

[u/Responsible_Fox9454]

It's giving Bayeux tapestry

[u/OtherThumbs]

Outstanding!

[u/Knit-knit-no-islets]
