Preloved Framed You are what you eat Cross Stitch Picture
 
This is a humorous cross-stitch artwork framed in wood that illustrates the classic idiom, "You are what you eat."
 
Artwork Narrative & Details
 
The Setup (Left): An outlined cat sits on a shelf next to two fishbowls. The first bowl holds a vibrant green, yellow, and black striped fish blowing bubbles. The second bowl is empty except for a ghostly silhouette of a fish and a question mark, implying it was just eaten.
 
The Punchline (Right): A second cat appears completely transformed. It now sports the exact green, yellow, and black stripes of the fish it ate, and it is playfully blowing bubbles into the air.
 
The Signature: The piece is signed "K.Y. 2001." on the bottom left.
