Loooong story! :doh: I had this cat on ebay as Lilly Kayla but had to take down my auction. Now she's up as Thebe Tao. It's only the second of my cats that can sit or recline and it's my first cat with open/close eyes.

I always wondered where the Masters went with their work when they have ..Mastered. But its not something that is ever conquered is it? We are all driven forward in our art, in our creativity.
I have always thought your cats magnificent and with this one........nothings changed. I still think your cats are magnificent. bear_grin bear_wub

Matilda,
Thank you! Your comment really got me thinking. What does keep us going on with our work? I always feel like I'm just starting out whenever I try a new design and boy do I get frustrated! Many times I just put it all aside but I can never forget it, I dream about the problem and I ALWAYS go back and try again. Sometimes I feel guility, spending so much time on one small detail. BUt the reason I keep trying is because I want to capture a feeling, a moment; I want the cat to look back at me and say something. That's my reward and it's what keeps me going.
