New edition at home...

Ever visit someone with a cat and end up with enough fur in your hand to build your own? 


For better and complete instructions, you can buy the book of inspiration: Crafting with Cat Hair

I first laid eyes upon it last Christmas hunting for an interesting time at Barnes and Noble Book Store.  My first reaction was of disgust (which tends to be the first words that come from those who have seen the finished project live). Delving deeper and finding how achieveable the process was, I decided one day I was going to do that.

A couple of months later, access to a cat transpired.
Taiga.

My gracious boyfriend, at the time, harvested her loose hair, already matted and closely felted, in the manner the book explains.


And then comes the prep.


Formed into a bunny.


Jarred.

Here is the finished product:


Surrounding the bunny beau are the carnations he gave me on our 3 month anniversary. Although, I love flowers I am not a fan of receiving them.  I tend to lean of their shadowing view of beautiful slowly or quickly dying depending on how you care for them.  In any case, eventually it will die, just like our relationship.

Oh well. It was a sweet creature that was bred.
