Japanese Artist Makes Super Realistic Felted Cats

A replica of a cat’s eyeball made from glass, ears made from tiny pieces of wool felt and a real cat’s whiskers.

Each part is skillfully put together by Japanese artist, who goes by the name of Sachi, who is a master in making 3D realistic cat portraits.

Sachi has a few tricks to make these cat portraits look authentic. She uses at least a dozen of the same color shades of felted wool out from the different types of materials she owns, so that the portrait’s head will have an identical texture to real cat fur.

The crafting process takes hours and days. She begins by first looking at dozens of photos of the real cat she wants to replicate to check the size of each facial part and the color of the fur so she can prepare the materials needed.

It takes her at least 10 days to prepare the foundation of the portrait, including the ears, before she starts to mount more felt onto it to add more height and width to the face. (Reuters)
