Christy is a
sweet little tabby cat with a mischievous side.
|
 |
| Her favorite toy is a
yellow duck. |
|
| When she
squeezes his tummy he makes a startling noise halfway between a quack
and a cackle, and so she calls him "Quackle". |
 |
Christy has heard that
ducks like water. |
 |
| She's taken
Quackle down to the pond a few times, but doesn't dare put him in the
water. She's afraid he might float away. |
 |
| Christy 's friends wish
he would float away. |
 |
| Christy
thinks it's very entertaining to sneak up behind them and squeeze
Quackle. They don't think it's at all amusing. |
 |
Christy's
friends are going toy shopping on the Internet. They are going to order
a dog that barks, a lion that roars, and a parrot that shrieks.
|
 |
| Christy's
fur is painted in a multitude of tabby colors...silver gray, buff,
ivory, and gold, with black stripes. Her yellow eyes have a touch of
green, and her pretty white whiskers are made from stiffened cotton
thread. |
 |
Christy's
dress is country red with a pattern of blue flowers with orange
centers. The dress is set off by a pale blue pinafore that ties in a
big bow at the back. Her striped kitty tail emerges from the ruffled
white petticoats that can be seen below her dress. |
 |
| Christy
is an original one-of-a-kind work of art and is meant for display only.
No molds are ever used in my work. She and her toy duck are hand
sculpted from paperclay, and she is entirely hand painted using acrylic
paints. She is signed and dated and sealed with matte varnish for
protection and preservation. Christy rests firmly on a turned wooden
base that is stained and sealed in golden oak. She stands 9 1/4 inches
tall. |
 |
| Many
hours go into the making of each of my dolls.
I strongly believe in fine craftsmanship and artistry, and
I pay great
attention to small details. Each
doll is
a unique work of art, and I am able to produce them in only a very
limited
number. I do my
best to create
little dolls with big personalities because that is what I love to do. |
