This was requested by my wife, who is a HUGE LOLCats fan. The ”I Can Has Cheezburger?” Cat!
This fluffy beast was the one who started the entire atom bomb of pictures on the internet.
For those living under a proverbial rock, go here: http://icanhascheezburger.com/
At first, I thought this guy wasn’t going to be too hard to cut – I knew I wanted to do a “negative space” image, which is where the image floats on the felt, and had done a different one in the past with hardly any issues but this guy turned out WAY harder than I thought!!!!
The chestnut I picked out was really brittle and the pieces wound up tiny – not a good combination to say the least!
There are five floating pieces in this portrait – the tiniest of which only measures a half inch long and less than 1/16” wide. The whiskers are less than 1/16” wide as well.
The piece measures around 6 inches square overall and is 1/8” thick.
Finish consists of a soak in lemon oil and fastened to thick felt backing.
Enjoy!

>“Finish consists of a soak in lemon oil and fastened to thick felt backing.”
Bob, you throw this phrase out there like it was nothing. How in the world do you attach those tiny pieces to the felt? IMWTK.

Rance,
You want that I give ALL my secrets away???? ;-)
OK, you twisted my arm….............
1) Glue the frame to a felt backing – stretch it, but not too much, so that there is a tad bit of tension.
2) Insert the WASTE piece to use as a guide – do not glue this piece in! Very important (trust me). ;-)
3) Using tweezers if needed, and it will be needed, apply a tiny drop of CA Glue to the back of the piece and set it into the hole of your “template” and hold it there until it is dry.
4) Lather, rinse, repeat.
Got it?
