Being a farrier is dangerous work at times. She's putting herself in a very vunerable position when working on them. I'm glad she's enjoying it though. Did you post the drawing of hers on your live journal? I'll be sure to send "both " questions on to Budda. :) <strong> Angela</strong>, yes it's on suede. I'm finding working on it the easiest thing I've done so far and since this was such a challenge I figured I'd play it safe. Initially I want to do oil pastel but just didn't have enough reference material to support it.

The eyes are so wonderful and I love the texture and color in the hair on the face. I am assuming this is WC pencil on suede? Mona, that first close-up is stunning.

Actually, I would love to see Budda sitting on a toilet. I bet you would too, just think of how much easier it would be to flush after him than to clean out the cat box! I should've gotten the training kit for that when Ari was a kitten, that would've saved years of labor and expense with the litter box. But I don't think age nine is the right time of life to start them on something like that. I'm just happy he has clean habits. Kitten the Farrier is going up to Kansas to lace a quarter crack. She explained what that was and actually sketched it in my sketchbook. Her drawings of hooves are getting more accurate every time, must come from her handling them every day. Here's a really tough question for the Budda: How do you put an overweight cat on a diet when you've also got an underweight cat? LOL — yep! Actually, I would love to see Budda sitting on a toilet.
