Draped Concrete Cat Ghoul
Welcome to our newest member of the Ghoul Family; a sweet Draped Concrete Cat! I’m excited to offer my very first eBook for download! This Cat design easily comes together with my detailed instructions and illustrations. Won’t you give her a spot at your place…
Design:
Having worked with draped concrete and fabrics I wanted a new challenge. This design comes together with full size patterns for the form and also for the fabric. Her form does not require any expensive supplies since she reuses easily found (probably free) materials.
The fabric patterns are also supplied to make it easier than other draping projects.
This eBook is full of detailed images (over 50 pictures) and full size patterns for making the great cat-like form.
For extra help I have also illustrated the process in detail. I’m excited to be able to share such detail for this as there are over 50 pictures in 24 pages. I have spent many years of my career happily as a technical illustrator so this project was such a joy.

Enjoy the same ingenuity here as her spooky friends. And who knows she may even have new friends in the future… I am quite happy to see how many have enjoyed the Spook and Witch.
There’s still time to crack open the Portland cement… I even made her in my workshop as the canadian weather was not cooperating! Thanks for joining me in my ‘concrete journey’!
Wow so cool Barb…fantastic cheers 😆
You had me at cat! LOL I love the others too. So awesome!
Her form is made with easily found objects and works so perfectly with the pattern, give her a try…
You are the cat’s meow!!! You are brilliant!
I hope you make one! She’s precious sitting out in my garden right now.
Hi Barb,
I was wondering if it’s possible to do one side at a time. Planning to do a fairly large project not draped but formed. Do you happen to know if you can do the outside, pull a form and then do the inside?
Thanks!
It’s hard for me to say since I don’t see it in my head. One thing to keep in mind with concrete is that it gets heavy quickly! Eben the soaked fabric gets heavy! I like to keep my projects on the smaller size due to that. Concrete molds are often reinforced with a solid material. The Cat is a unique draped project that is based on a pattern. Good luck!
I was searching sites on how to make concrete hands planters. I discovered you pretty much by accident! I love your work, talent and imagination! I can’t wait to try some of your ideas. You’re my hero!!
That’s nice to say. I wish I could be more heroic! It’s more play than heroics though… sort of like messy child’s play! But as an adult now, I’am allowed! Enjoy!
simply stunning and just can’t get enough!
Thanks! Enjoy!
I love the way you have created these beautiful things..I’m definitely going to try
Have fun! There’s no limit to the create ways concrete can be used.
These are just wonderful, you are so creative. Thank you for sharing your idea with us. I will definitely try this next fall. All the best to you.
Thanks! Enjoy designing with concrete draping!
I cant wait to try to make a spook! Thank you for sharing your imagination!
Enjoy! Working with concrete has so many options!
I LOVE HOW YOU CREATED THE GHOUL…WITCH…..I WOULD LOVE TO TRY MY HAND AT THIS ….WITH YOUR HELP OF COURSE. I HAVE NEVER WORKED WITH CEMENT.

It’s pretty simple but you may want to start with some simple draped testing. See here for the Ghoul Witch
