I have been working on this fellow for quite some time now and I am so happy he is finally completed and now listed.His name is Christopher and he is made from white curly mohair with hand tinted accents.His nose/muzzle was constructed from pressed mohair from a sculpted sculpey form.I had been keeping his outfit a secret on my blog until his reveal day,showing only his hat with clues to the outfit..hehe.He is dressed in a victorian outfit in a deep midnight blue that I choose to brings out his light coloring.He is 15 inches tall and fully jointed.He is now on ebay if you would like to see all his details with lots of photos.~~~~Sharie

Sharie,

Congrats on the superb ebay sale! The cat is adorable. You said you used a sculpey form for the nose. How did you keep the shape?

Thanks so much again for all the wonderful compliments on Christopher!He will be going to his new mommy in Japan soon.Barbette,I sculpted his muzzle from sculpey then used an old technique that I use to use in my dollmaking days which is pressed cloth,in this case,mohair moulded over the sculpey form,then when dried lifted off with cloth and backing added(inside the hollow side) for strength.The piece is then sewn to the head(face front of kitty)Then to finish it off,with paperclay I built the nose out adding the nostrils and little lines.Hope that helps explain the process a little more.~~~~Hugs....Sharie
