Most of my projects consist of working up the nerve/momentum to power over multiple "bumps" - in this cat's case, it was those damn ears (which you can see were noncommittal chunks of loose fluff on either side of the head a month ago). Making identical pieces is hard, symmetrical stuff is even harder. It additionally does not help that adding a high-contrast color to a shape will start "warping" the original contours of the shape, although that actually kind of worked to my favour when I added the purple. Next time, I probably won't be so lucky.
The tail was comparatively easy after a few afternoons well spent with my school's Life Design club, where I hid from my responsibilities with a bunch of students making braided bracelets. Totally going to use this method for other wrapped wires in future because it looks ~amazing~
I've obviously still got a bunch of other stuff to complete, but in the interim, added to my to-do-eventually list:

peace to the unsung peace to the martyrs | i'm johnny rotten appleseed
clouds is shaky love | broke as hell but i got a bunch of ringtones
eyes blood red bruise aubergine | Sue took something now Sue doesn't sleep | saint average, day in the life of
woke up in the noon smelling doom and death | out the house, great outdoors
staying warm in arctic blizzard | that's my battle 'til I get inanimate | still up in the same clothes living like a gameshow
