She owns the sidewalk. Wrapped head to toe in ribbons of color, hair swept into glossy coils, platform boots planted on the snow like the pavement is a runway, the woman at the center of Catwalk Couture moves through a winter city with total command. Her scarf trails behind her in a river of stripes. Her cat, dressed to match, keeps perfect pace on the leash. Behind them, skyscrapers glow in pink, gold, and electric blue against a snow-dusted night sky. Artist Peggy Collins builds this scene from thousands of hand-drawn bands of color, layering pattern on pattern until the coat, the cat, and the trees all pulse with the same joyful energy. The palette does the heavy lifting: warm rainbow ribbons set against cool watercolor blues, with tiny points of light strung through the bare branches. It is fashion illustration, city portrait, and cat lover's daydream working together in one frame. For the puzzler, that density is the reward. The 1000 pieces break down into distinct working zones: the skyline, the snowfield, the trees, and the glorious tangle of stripes that will keep you sorting by hue for hours. Random cut dies and extra thick board give the pieces varied shapes and a snug, satisfying interlock, and a free puzzle guide poster is included so you can study the details up close while you build. Finished, it measures 19.25 by 26.75 inches, large enough to glue, frame, and hang as a statement piece over a console or in a reading nook. Peggy Collins is a digital artist living on the coast of Vancouver Island in British Columbia, Canada. Raised in a family of painters, she spent two decades photographing wildlife before turning to digital art, and that naturalist's eye still shapes her work. Years of jewelry making, hand dyed coconut shells, kiln fired glass, and wirework gave her a deep love of color that shows up in the stained glass and quilted textures woven through her images. Cats, dogs, rabbits, turtles, and birds have all shared her home, and that affection for animals runs through nearly everything she creates.
