Maneki Neko

After several months I didn't touch needle felting, yesterday was my first attempt :p
Below is some info from wiki:

The Maneki Neko (招き猫?, literally "Beckoning Cat"; also known as Welcoming CatLucky CatCat SwipeMoney cat, or Fortune Cat) is a commonJapanese sculpture, often made of ceramic, which is believed to bring good luck to the owner. The sculpture depicts a cat (traditionally a calico Japanese Bobtail) beckoning with an upright paw, and is usually displayed—many times at the entrance—in shops, restaurants, pachinko parlors, and other businesses. Some of the sculptures are electric or battery-powered and have a slow-moving paw beckoning. In the design of the sculptures, a raised left paw supposedly attracts money, while a raised right paw protects it.


Do you believe?
