    The photos don’t do justice to the technique involved in producing this cat.
    I haven’t been able to photograph the way single strands of glass seem to have been pulled up to make the interior of the cat. It looks a little like the technique used in making millefiori paperweights. When I hold the cat in the light the strands seem to ‘ruffle’.
    I think the cat has a slightly non-plussed expression, which I find quite endearing, but technically I think it’s fabulous.

      I'm pretty sure this is Murano with that technique and the wonderful eyes.
      She's a beauty!

      That is a pretty adorable cat, and you get such good images to show it off which gives it some realism !~

      Thanks PhilDMorris for the comment. It’s kind of you to say the images are good. I feel a little frustrated that I couldn’t produce an image which does the technique justice. Thanks also for the love. Many thanks also for the love from Drake47 much appreciated.
