This is my second least favorite animal on the planet. (Snakes are my least, for those that wondered.) Anyway I needed to do a scratchboard demonstration for my class. We were using gold (real gold leaf) scratchboards. I needed something with a lot of fur and little in the way of skin. Plus I needed something that was easily recognizable by the students so I swallowed my pride and used a house cat. Besides, I try real hard to not make my personal interests/likes or dislikes affect what I present to the students. Anyway I like the way gold SB turns out. Hope some of you will like it as well.
