WOW!!! Beautiful!! Reminds me of some cat dolls, but I can't remember the
name of them. They were beautiful and expensive, years ago. I wanted one,
but never got one.

That is gorgeous, Dawn!!

Hey, that's no fair! I haven't got my copy yet. =o) I didn't even know
if he would make it in.
This is the biggest hand sketched piece I've ever done, measuring about
3-1/3 inches tall by 3 inches wide.
It's my big kitty, Winston. Here's a few pics.....

Nurturing doesn't end at birth: breastfeed, co-sleep, babywear.

There is a very fine line between a hobby and mental illness.

Thanks Stephanie!
Yep, that's my boy! If given two boxes to choose from, he'd surely pick the
one that he "spills out of" to squeeze into. Now he's going through his
"woven throw" stage though. Thank goodness I have two so when I take one
away from him to be washed, I have another one ready to put down for him.
He's like Linus with his security blanket!! If I take one up he will
literally HOWL until I put a new one down. He's always been a very odd cat.

Thanks Jerri!
Actually, my Mom has a cat doll that he kind of reminds me of. It has a
porcelain head and hands and feet. That would be fun to try to make one with
polymer clay.

Thank you so much to everyone who had such nice things to say about my kitty
mask! Unfortunately, I had to quit making my hand sketched pieces because it
was making me go blind. I sketched them under super magnification to give
them detail you couldn't even see with the naked eye. You can see every
single hair on them. Eventually it really started to take a toll on my
eyesight. Had I kept making them, I would be sketching wall murals by now,
cause that's all I would be able to see...LOL!

Thanks!
I used a combination of sketching and scratching to give the detail, then
sealed the piece under liquid polymer clay.
