Endeavoring to create a cat's face..

 I have struggled with making cat's faces for over a year in my fiber work.

Cats have a flat face, essentially, with a subtle profile. I find sculpting them much trickier than making a creature with a definite muzzle and nose, like a rabbit or a mouse.

So, in my determination to build a better cat, I started to practice on four faces. 

I really did start with a pretty flat surface. Upon that surface I built up the facial structure, bit by bit.

Fur was added to the face, small tufts at a time.

 The Salt and Pepper Kitty looks like a fly has landed on his nose! He is very surprised about it.

Everyone is wide-eyed, except the Tabby... but I find this a frequent expression on all the cats I've known and loved.

 I'm pretty pleased with the way they turned out.

 I do have my favorites. Isn't that always the way it is with cats?
