cat embroidery

I've finally resorted to posting from Flickr as Blogger won't let me upload any photos - is it just me?

My first stab at an embroidery from the cute Japanese book I impulse bought. I think the fur is meant to have that textured look - uneven length stitches - I'm sure there's a technical term for that.

But the eyes, the slightly satanic eyes, are all my own French Knot work.
