I think maybe my latest #inkscape #scanncut project is too ambitious.

I just wanted to experiment with multi-layered using registration marks.

What I'm getting is a #cat #art project that is going to give me lots of practical issues.

My #art student college child had some notes

1. add the eye highlights

2. "How will the whiskers function on the sticker?" ... "Exaggerate their thickness to make them physically stronger"

3. leave the cat's nose the same color as the fur but cut it as a separate piece of vinyl in a separate layer so texture makes it visible

4. remove the inaccurate and complicated ear fur

This makes the sticker much more manageable, but I still have 6 layers and 4 colors.

Also, even with registration marks I think I'm going to have alignment problems where the white fur patches meat the nose.

But heck, let's try it!

I went through a few iterations of #sticker and #papercraft mostly trying to get the whiskers to come out.

Finally this simplified version worked. It's a reasonably good likeness of my favorite #cat
