Stylized Kitty

My sister-in-law is a cat fancier, so I carved this one for her.

Neat Kitty. Bet the sister in laws loves it. BTW, Don't carve her a club!

Good cat! Smile

I would refer to your kitty as "A kitty with style" Very nice, TOM H

Good job! What kind of wood is that and are those glass eyes?
I am working on a pair of butternut cats for my niece. It is hard to get that "kitty" face down. My cats won't sit still to co-operate at all.

Thanks for all the positive reinforcement!! The members of this board are the best!!

Canopener - The cat is carved in basswood and the eyes are painted and coated with Treasure Crystal Coat by Plaid. I have to give credit to Donna T for helping me with the eyes - Thanks!!Ice Cream I used Google images to search for photos of cats to use as a model for the face.

Mik, Donna good tip on the eyes. I checked out glass eyes and they are kind of expensive.
Googled some cat pics, but mine still won't co-operate. Looked down one night and one of them was rolling in wood chips and getting ready to go back inside the house to roll on the carpet. UmHmmm.
