Preface
When you start to explore the many different breeds of cat, you realize just what a variety there is, and how different they are from each other. I spent days beavering away in my studio, researching all different kinds of cats, both the small cats and their bigger, wild relations. I checked out their colourings and markings, and spent so much time trying to perfect their colourful, beautiful eyes. It became an obsession!
It was only by researching the various details that make each breed so distinctive that I was able to capture each one's unique qualities and differences. Pattern, colour and shape are key, so capturing these details in felt was important. Luckily, there are many different colours of felt available, including those with fur-like mottled effects. Felt's non-fraying, double-sided, robust qualities make it easy to create all the little details that result in unique and instantly recognizable breeds. I also used small amounts of wool curls and wool roving for some of the cats to add texture for truly strokable results.
I have loved putting this book together – just like our favourite pets, it has been a constant companion over the course of many months, raising my spirits when needed. This collection of felines means a lot to me, and I hope you enjoy the book as much as I have enjoyed putting it together.
