This is Dem and I wasn't part of the trade, so do you just want me to accept the trade? I don't need to add anything? ^_^

Edit:

It's a send item on delivery trade, so I assume I just accept. :3

Yup, just accept and the items are all for the charity!

Yay for Cat Paws donations! :3 I remember when this thread was just a baby beta idea; glad to see you three (and supporters) are keeping it alive. :3

DEM D8 YOU have ART to judge! ;-;

Found my art pencils, yay! Only took half an hour of searchign to find them. And of course they're right where they should have been. Sigh! life is making me work for my frivolities!

*pets quiet* =x


Oh! The yearly previews are up in my thread OwO Working on monthlies now ^-^

*applauds DK* ;)

Watching Animal Planet all day. More fun that watchign people. :) Might do a bit of scrapbooking while I still have some free time today.

I love animal planet OxO

I like Fatal Attractions when it's on, and a number of the rescue shows. I'm a little morbid that way, but I like to see the happy endings (exept in the former case, of course. Not so many of those).

I love that show.. especially when Wild Cats are involved

I haven't been here in a very very long time! How is you DK?

DK is tired.

I need to finish doing stuff.. @-@

What are you working on? Anything that I can help with?

xD I got all the help I need :3 thanks though!

Its my image guide, we're gathering items

Ahhhhh nice. If you need any helps... Just let me know.

Airi is Posty McPostsALot. XDDD so much truth.

I'm good :3

We almost have all the images ^-^

*rolls eyes* i just am too lazy to ask for a different title.....
And yay for item guide almost being done!

Guide's are always so helpful. I am grateful for them n.n

I know they are wonderful things! I use them lots!

Me, Chasm, Ashy, Gozed, (lucid did 2) all worked hard gathering the images so I could put them together like a puzzle <3

Yay puzzles!!! I wish i had time to do puzzles.....

d'awww, I didn't help all that much. I only complained. XD

Lucid does that a lot! xP

not all the time! ;o;
just when there's something to complain about.
besides, I'm ADORABLE!

I said you did two items =w=

chasm did 9! owo well she got me the males cause I have all teh females except for a few.

gozed did the male event poses.. =w= and some of the male yearly poses

Dammit! pooched my drawing. Is there a meaning to the left paw raised on a maneki neko?

Awww poor Quiet.... And I guess lucid is adorable.... i might say that.....

Yes there is. Many meanings really.

The Maneki Neko is called the Good Luck Cat. Also known as the Beckoning cat.

The paw is raised up to call others over. you often see them infront of japanese shops and stuff.

The Good Luck part is for the statues. Depending on what Paw is raised. One paw is for money and i forget what the other paw is for,

That is really really interesting.

If I recall correctly, one is for wealth, the other good fortune. Typically I've seen the right one up. Might have to look that one up but if it works, it works.

Base sketch is done. :)

I got a small statue from my favorite japanese resturant *it was used as ref to the maneki neko items so the item looks EXACTLY like my statue* and it came with these little papers you stick on the waving paw. each one for a different good fortune, weither it be health, wealth, happiness, marrage so on so forth xD

Ooooh that sounds so wonderful!

its a plastic one. put batteries in it the paw moves xD

That sounds way cool!! Even if it is plastic, I'd be scared that I would break it if it wasn't plastic

I want to collect all kinds of maneki neko statues x3 but I'm poor D8

I've never seen one in real life.

I'll post a pic of mine later :3

That's cute. :). Every Japanese restaurant I go into has one or two. My friend has one, but has it tipped over on his shelf because he can't get the paw to stop moving and it makes clicking noises. I like the little ones. There was a show that featured a collector and she had at least 1000.

OOooooh yea!!! Pictures!
