| | Re: wip through the holidays yep from the pattern posted somewhere on the wci.
found that a 2" coil of invisible thread for whiskers pulled through a super small hole with a loop of same material & glued into place with elmers works so much better than anything else i could find,
After photos were taken I also used black glass beads for eyes.
the cat loves them!
i put one on my daughters computer without her knowing and she flipped out !
hee hee!! |

| | Re: wip through the holidays i have made a couple stretch versions of them head down is about 3 inches not including the 3" leather tail but with looking forward kind they grow 2 mote inches for some reason....
thanks for the comments
apparently i like them rough cut (not smoothly finished) because the picture shows i didnt take enough time to do them completely
oh the round glass beads worked great for the eyes
