My Waxy Primitive Cats!

Yeah, they are finally done! these were done using a finishing wax. a bit messy but worth it!  a set with the light wax, a set with the dark, and then I painted the last set black and put a wax on top. it really makes them soft and supple!  and the wax on the black looks just like leather!

I know that I did some things wrong, you were supposed to rub cinnamon on them before the wax set. well I waited to long, but I will learn that aspect of it as well. So I tried to use the colored pencils for the highlights and it didn't really stick to the wax. I did manage to get the legs highlighted, but not the eyelids or the nose.

even with my problems, I really like how they turned out!  What do you all think of them?
