A pastel portrait of your cat painted in soft, smudgy pastels on velvet paper, which has a lovely textured effect for fur. Will be mounted, ready for you to frame. Oh, and I promise not to take as long with it as I have with Helen's (and she still hasnt got it yet, although it IS finished and getting ready to send - well there's been a lot going on recently LOL!)
Anyway here's a couple of examples, Elsa of course you've prob already seen a lot LOL! and one I've nearly finished (just needs whiskers!)

Oh yes Ela, should have said 'pet' perhaps change i'll change the title - mind you I've never actually drawn a dog before, done lots of cats, a bear, and and orang o tan!

£25.00

-
yes, a bit rich for me too Hannah. Well worth it, but with having to pay six months of backtaxes to council ... :(
-
and there's 2 weeks of bidding to go!!! she really wants it!!! stiil, i maintain :P ;)
-
Lasy year the bid on this was a lot higher and as you say still two weeks to go :rofl: :rofl:
Top bid currently £25 for a dog portrait I think ;D
-
£25.01
:innocent:
-
£30.00
-
£35 :Luv:
-
I meant to say - sorry, but I wouldnt be able to get the portrait finished before Christmas, just in case you were thinking that - I'm sure you guessed anyway though, that these things can't be rushed! ;D (although won't be as long as I've taken with Helen's, I promise, promise, promise LOL!) I'll also need to work from good, clear, sharp, close up (if poss) photos that, most importantly, show a lot of detail, particularly of the eyes.
OK - continue!!
-
oh well given this new information i would like to retract my earlier offer..... whaddaya mean who cares you've moved on?!?!?!?!!?

So is Ela planning on winning this as I dont think it fair for her to shot the bid up and then not carry on with it, not fair on other peeps when it should of started low and more would of bid.
I know its for a very good cause but I dont think much more will go on that as it's started so high.
I would love one but not starting at 37, so really there is no competition as people will see the price and think I'm not starting at that. :shy:
-
There have been lots of bids on this cc and I know last year this item went for over £40, it is up to each person to bid as they see fit and the one that bids highest will win.
Afraid thats how auctions work ;D
-
Yes I do know Gill, but why has someone bid so high then not bid again? Fair enough it's worth it but I'd say a lot of people would of bid from the start if someone did not go and spoil it for everyone else and maybe it would of had a bit of competition and got more than last year. ;D
-
cc this is an auction and if you want to kill off the opposition you bid a big amount and sit back and hope nobody will out bid you..........Ela may come back if she wants it more than anyone else but she has 9 days to do that in.
Please take this off forum now
Thank you ;D
-
Think I'll withdraw this if its going to cause problems :(
-
please don't Gillian it is such a lovely lot
-
No disrespect to Gillian. but for a proffessional pet portrait you would pay up to £80. so it is a good price.
Unfortunately I cant afford to bid on this, I am spending much too much money :'(, but I think it is a fab item and very kind of you to do it in your own time for the auction. So leave it on :P :Luv2:
-
I know this in nothing to do with the auction.. But i have been looking to have a portrait of my Leo or Bella to be done just before the auction started.. So to me this is twofold... gives money to charity, cat related and also its something i very much wanted in the first place.
So i will be bidding on this but not until payday... But its very kind of Gillian to put this up as it probably takes ages to do...
Sorry about the blurb here...
-

And the rest, I know some that are over £300

Thank you for the support and I hope Gillian will keep this item on here cos as we all know she does some outstanding portraits of cats and its a very valuable item.
It has justifiably got a high bid and if we can get it to go even higher that will be wonderful.
I do not want to see Gillian being upset any more and therefore would be very grateful for no more posts on this thread unless its a bid within the spirit of this auction.
Twofold in the spirit of raising loads of money for Lesley and her rescue and having loads of fun on live auction once a year here on Purrs ;D ;D
So once again I announce that today , now

Sorry not bidding but the objections were rediculous !! I'm sure everyone knows about EBAY ............ anyone ever NOT put in a highest bid you were prepared to go to and hope that no one else betters it .. Hell yes its annoying when the boogers do but thats the name of the game in an auction :shocked:
Personally i think it a fair price aswell coz i can just imagine how many hours work must go into it. If anyone wanted to buy a cake from me you'd be talking 70+ quid (which is why i dont sell em) so atleast with a picture you have it forever :)
-
£49 ;D
Who'll bid against Willow for the big five-oh?

Perhaps we could persuade Gillian to do 2 portraits ;D (no pressure, Gillian ;)). Then there'd be even more money for Lesley ;D

What a war you two, great.
I would contact Gillian and I suspect that if you are willing to be patient and can supply giood photos she just may take you up............let us know ;D
:win bid:
Congratulations Canterbury Cats. You’re the winner with a final bid of £62.00 including P & P all to be paid to Lesley.
Please see the thread “How to pay your auction money to Lesley”
Please contact Gillian via email on their profile or by Private Message with the name of the item/s you have won and the address you would like the item sent to. The money must be paid to Lesley before the item is sent from the auctioneer.
Please post on this thread once you have sent the money off to Lesley for confirmation. Thanks.
For the auctioneer
Thanks for auctioning the item and for covering the postage cost so more funds go to Lesley.
It's the auctioneer’s responsibility to guarantee the auctioned item is posted to the winning bidder.
The winning bidder must pay Lesley the winning bid before you send off the auction item. Please wait until a post is made on the item thread saying the winner has paid.
Please could you post confirmation on this thread when you have posted the item to the winner. Thanks

I've been in touch with Gillian and she is happy to do 2 portraits ;D ;D
So I will pay the £63 I bid and Gillian will do it when she has time (will do Sharon's first obviously as Sharon won the auction)
