December 5 - Bopup Cats


In ancient times cats were worshipped as gods; they have not forgotten this.

~ Terry Pratchett

Lessons were learned over and over again while making Chibicoro, but apparently I needed another one.  What you're seeing here is actually the simplified form of something I was over-complicating -- my first attempts at making a Bopup cat had back legs, a head section - ears.  It was losing the charm of what it was.

It takes a little bit of finesse to "do the move" to make these.  So to try and keep from messing up the final attempt, I can easily attempt the ink art on a round before putting it in the wobbledy one.

The secret here is the one without the claw marks on the paws is the prototype and not actually a bopup.  It had to be placed in between the grey and pink to be held still.
