Deirdre doesn’t walk. She wafts. Sometimes she floats. Her silky hair wafts and floats along with her.

The first thing you notice about Deirdre are her deep sapphire-blue eyes, looking directly out at you from her dark little face. They are full of mystery and wonder.

“What a pretty kitty!” you can’t help saying.

“I know, but thank you,” she replies, and wonders why you state the obvious. It is more fact than flattery.

In spite of her awareness of her very good looks, Deirdre is a sweet and loving soul. She never utters a cross word, and is always patient and gentle.

Deirdre wears a lilac-blue pinafore that has a pretty pattern of grape, dark turquoise, and pink. The bib and over-the-shoulder straps are ruffled in the same fabric. Under the pinafore is a medium-blue blouse with flower buttons down the front. The collar and cuffs are pale lavender blue and edged in red-purple scalloped trim.

Deirdre’s dark tail emerges from her white bloomers. Her tights are striped in pale lavender blue and red-purple. Tan high-button shoes cover her kitty feet.

Deirdre is a one-of-a-kind work of art, created from my own design and pattern. She is made from 100% cotton fabric which has been sewn, stuffed, and completely hand-painted with acrylic paints. Her whiskers are made from stiffened cotton thread.

Deirdre’s paws are needle-sculpted, and her arms are button-jointed so that she can pose. Her face was sculpted from paperclay smoothed into her fabric head.

Deirdre’s curled tail enables her to sit demurely all by herself on a shelf or on a table, or in a cabinet. She can also sit on a chair or stand with a doll stand. (Chair and doll stand not included.) Deirdre is meant for display only.

Deirdre is signed and sealed with matte varnish for protection and preservation. She is 8 and 1/2 inches tall.

Deirdre will be available on eBay the week of Sunday, February 26-March 4, 2012.

She is wearing a rose-colored gown with puffy sleeves and a glamorous ruffle around the neck, edged in blue.
