The photo below is so you can see why this is a called a "Cat Head" basket. The Shaker people made these baskets over a mold to assure consistency in size and shape. I do not use a mold, but form the ears by manipulating the reeds to the shape I want. Can you see the cats' ears and chubby little face in this photo?
Just in case you're still having trouble visualizing the cat head, Frito said he'd help you out!
Aww, Frito looks a little camera shy. He's gorgeous:) I love your baskets, and I do see the cat ears. They both look very handsome. You did an excellent job. Hugs~Carol
