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.
Boris really has great color.
He really is a gloriously handsome fellow if I say so myself Bryan!
Congratulations! I'm sure that you and the Not-Wife will ensure that fame doesn't disturb his somnolent life.

I 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!
You'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!
Bien sur Madame Chat. Will Hermitage suffice or would Madame prefer a Bordeaux or Burgundy?
Ah1 Ah! Ah! Merci pour le rire! I needed it....
You#re Welcome Claudia!
Beaded Boris is charming and cleverly done. I think I'll pet the fur-covered Boris, though, if you don't mind...
That goes wothout saying but it is a wonderful tribute!

Beadwork for Boris
Then that means someone should do a statue for Ted.
Quite right he deserves that statue!
Yep. Boris deserves it. he is cool. For an orange cat, that is.
I 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!
