lol not my favorit subject either.,,,as a matter of fact im terrified of the icky little things lol thats why the hats... to help make them look less scary lol not that they look all that scaary to me....and the catus is a GREAT idea! i have a compound cut pattern for a catus too...will just have to inlarge it a little....and with a little rounding you might be able to use it as a ring or bracelet holder....or keys maybe a watch will have to see how big the catus is....if i cant get the compound cut big enough i can try cutting out a flat one and rounding it over huumm. for some reason i always seem to try to make the things i make useful in some way lol ... im not that great a painter either....but after about 35-40 years of pratice i do a bit better....but i know nothing about shadows and floating and such...my friend has tried to teach me but so far i have no real talent for it lol
