Another farewell gift, this one for our office manager, who is a Totoro fan.
It was adapted from the “Simple phone stand” posted here: Simple phone holder with lots of design potential - #26 by smcgathyfay
And no, I have no idea why the cat is a bus. I also don’t know why it says “ah” on the front. It’s just a vowel; it means nothing at all. 
Very nice. How did you get the coloring into the material? Is it just painted and I have zero depth perception?
It’s painted with acrylic paints. 
The gold edges are Rub ‘n’ Buff.
Ooooh! Wouldn’t have spotted the gold edges until you mentioned it…but those are NICE! (Need to get some of that.) 
Beware, it’s highly addictive!
I totally read this as “catbutt” phone stand. I won’t say I was disappointed upon opening the thread…
Cute/Fierce!
I did notice the edges - have to get some of that too!
I’ve been here several times and still see “canbus”…
You are in your element with the going away gifts! Very nice work.
I sure didn’t know what to expect when I clicked on this post, but it is, in fact, a catbus. Who knew? Finest one I’ve ever seen, too.
Oh dear. (That gives me an idea.) 
Definitely not the animal control van or a place to plug in a bunch of cats. I thought “Oh! a cat that’s a bus… Nah! that would be silly” then “Wow it really is a cat that’s a bus!” an amazing rendition 
now if you could make that in a phone case…
Hi just trying to find the link to download this ?
thanks
There isn’t one – forum rules prohibit sharing designs that are not our original work, so Catbus can’t be shared, sorry! There is a link in the first post to the basic phone stand that I used, though.
