Cat

This black cat was made with enlarged pattern of ragdoll kitten.




I've made 20 stuffed cats. But nothing of them is satisfactory.

Cat making is not so difficult. To make the face cute is difficult.
I don't think that the pattern is bad.

The balance of eyes, ears and nose makes the impression of the cat.
I need more trial and error.

There are a lot of cat toys at shops. It is hard to find a really cute cat.
Difficulty is not only on me.


A cat of human type.

Unreal cat is easier to make features.

I like both cats too!! Both are adorable!! I think you are too hard on yourself! I wish I had half of the talent that you have. I would love to take lessons from you about how to go about creating a stuffed animal and making it into a realistic looking three dimensional toy. I am not rich and cannot come to your country to take lessons. Perhaps one day you will write a book and maybe I can buy it then and try my hand at creating hamsters and dogs and cats and other creatures! Fan of Runo!!

Try darker eyes. A stuffed cat is going to seem more relaxed than a live cat, so it needs darker eyes. Bright eyes make it look strange, like it is always excited (and that doesn't make sense for a cat that isn't going to move ever).
Brighter eyes only work with cartoon/human style cats, because the strangeness is ok with those kind.
Good luck!

I REALLY wish I could buy this black cat. He's perfect and looks like my little boy who died, Dave. My daughter is 6 and she cried so much - still does. I want to get her this for her birthday. Do you sell them????
