Boris immortalised
Boris sleeps on blissfully ignorant that he has been immortalised. One of my favourite bloggers, the talented Lone Beader has created a beadwork Boris.
Go over and take a look. More pictures on her Etsy site. The not-wife and I are both chuffed!
Thanks for mentioning me! I was a little worried how my beadwork would turn out. Cats seem harder to bead at this scale because their noses/faces are different.
The fearless feline captured in his natural environment - somnolence.
ReplyDeleteBoris really has great color.
He really is a gloriously handsome fellow if I say so myself Bryan!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! I'm sure that you and the Not-Wife will ensure that fame doesn't disturb his somnolent life.

ReplyDeleteI can assure you Claudia that fame won't go to Boris's head... just so long as he ets his caviar and foie gras four times a day!
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome LB. I can imagine that it was darned difficult to get Boris right. Thanks so much for using him as a subject!
Miaow! Miaow! Yummy! I'm on my way for the next meal. Paris Paté for me, please! And French wine in the water bowl...Alas! I'm just a greyish colour. Wish I had Boris somptuous coat. He is truly marvellous!
ReplyDeleteBien sur Madame Chat. Will Hermitage suffice or would Madame prefer a Bordeaux or Burgundy?
ReplyDeleteAh1 Ah! Ah! Merci pour le rire! I needed it....
ReplyDeleteYou#re Welcome Claudia!
ReplyDeleteBeaded Boris is charming and cleverly done. I think I'll pet the fur-covered Boris, though, if you don't mind...
ReplyDeleteThat goes wothout saying but it is a wonderful tribute!

ReplyDeleteBeadwork for Boris
ReplyDeleteThen that means someone should do a statue for Ted.
Quite right he deserves that statue!
ReplyDeleteYep. Boris deserves it. he is cool. For an orange cat, that is.
ReplyDeleteI always wanted a ginger cat so I was delighted we=hen Boris was sent to us what with his face that looks like it;s been in the Marmalade jar!
