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. -- Dawn "Art Insomnia" Web Site http://www.art-insomnia.com Auctions http://snipurl.com/my_ebay "Stephanie" wrote in message ups.com... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...c/winmask1.jpg Beautiful Kitty!!

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. -- Dawn "Art Insomnia" Web Site http://www.art-insomnia.com Auctions http://snipurl.com/my_ebay "Beadbimbo" wrote in message ... WOW!!!

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! -- Dawn "Art Insomnia" Web Site http://www.art-insomnia.com Auctions http://snipurl.com/my_ebay "Dawn ^..^" wrote in message .. .

Thanks!
I used a combination of sketching and scratching to give the detail, then sealed the piece under liquid polymer clay. -- Dawn "Art Insomnia" Web Site http://www.art-insomnia.com Auctions http://snipurl.com/my_ebay "Jackdaw" wrote in message ...
