What is SillyCatz?
SillyCatz is the wall painting kit that offers the perfect opportunity to spend time with your family, to create a unique story on the walls of the child's room, in which everyone participates.
The kit is easy to use, with clear instructions and all the elements you need to create the painting of your choice! We have made sure that nothing is missing so you can have a pleasant experience, from the beginning to the end.
And now let us tell you how SillyCatz was born!
At the intersection of two stories, a older one (or very old...) and a most recent one.
The old story is related to Michelangelo Buonarroti and Leonardo da Vinci, contemporary and rival great sculptors and painters at the same time, who approached very differently the task of painting the huge churches of the time. While Michelangelo sacrificed his health to paint the Sistine Chapel himself, with the support of a few apprentices, Leonardo primarily used apprentices, to whom he gave directions from the ground.
This is how Michelangelo ends up describing in the book "Diary of Michelangelo, the Madman", written by Rolando Cristofanelli, the technique used by his rival (or, better said, by his apprentices): After the wall was ready to be painted, several perforated canvases were glued to the outline of the drawing.
Another slightly rarer piece of cloth was used, in which coal dust or lime dust was put and dabbed on the perforated area of the cloths glued to the ceiling, and thus the outline of the painting that was to be put on the wall resulted. Many years later, I was amazed to discover a similar technique used in the application of tattoos, more than 500 years away from the era of Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci.
A clear sign that Leonardo's technique was effective in its simplicity and logic. Over the years, this story meets the "painting by numbers" phenomenon, which caused a real "aha moment" for us and hence the creation of the SillyCatz kit.
To discover the symbiosis between the two techniques that brought us here, we invite you to put to work any of the SillyCatz kits! Have fun!
