Welcome! My name is Cara Drouin and I am a self representing artist. My "studio" is the spare room of my Milpitas home. My "office" is on my kitchen counter and my "staff" is the Cat Patrol.

I make everything here one-at-a-time, the hard way, no prints, no screens. It's all one-off original art. No two are exactly alike.

May was an exciting month, complete with computer crash. We lived and so we get to go to June. I have three dressage pads that are in the almost done stage. Wish I were faster.... June may provide the time for a shopping cart update and possible price increase. Supples cost more. Don't worry, it won't be effective until July.

This is the industrial upholstery machine used for saddle pads.

My horse has worn my creations for years. After many protoypes, my saddlepads are ready to share with you.

At the barn, I mostly wear sweatshirts. These primitive style sweatshirts can stand up to whatever ranch life dishes out. I offer those to you here. ( these are cool because you can spill a little bit of something on the front and it blends in !)

Sometimes I will list on ebay. If that's a venue you prefer, check it out. Sellername is Doublecatbatik, of course! Doublecatbatik items on ebay

You can often see photos of pads and shirts in progress in my blog Doublecatbatik.blogspot.com. Just click HERE or on the horse's mouth below.

The shopping cart is here is by PayPal, so most of you are familiar with it. You don't need a paypal account to use it, and you can fund it with a Paypal balance, a credit card or a bank account.

Details about buying and shipping are at the bottom of this page as well as the other pages. Links to click to this info are everywhere! Like right here click here for details about buying & shipping.

Cara
