Daphne charms everyone
she meets.
|
 |
 |
With her sweet little
tabby cat
face, and her big trusting yellow-green eyes, she has an air of total
innocence.
|
|
 |
She’s shy and unassuming,
but she
will happily raise her paw to show you her favorite glass fish bracelet.
|
 |
 |
 |
Watch out for Daphne, or
she’ll
steal your heart away.
|

 |
Daphne is an
original one-of-a-kind
work of art, made from 100% cotton fabric which is sewn, stuffed, and
completely hand-painted with acrylic paints.
She is 13 inches tall.
|
 |
 |
I sculpted
the front of her face
from paper clay, which I smoothed into the fabric.
Her whiskers are made from stiffened pearl
cotton, threaded through the clay before it dried.
|
 |
Her arms are
button-jointed, and
her paws are needle-sculpted. I painted
her fur in a multitude of tabby colors….silver gray, buff, ivory, gold,
and
black.
|
 |
Her pinafore is made from
colorful
fabric striped in orange, gold, purple, rose, and magenta. I
painted her collar and cuffs to match the
magenta stripe, and her tights to match the purple stripe.
Her kitty feet are covered with ivory
high-button shoes that have decorative toes and gold buttons.
|
 |
Daphne is signed and
dated, and
sealed with matte varnish for protection and preservation.
|
 |
| Daphne can sit upright
all by
herself. Her tail supports her very
nicely. She can also sit on a chair, or
stand with a doll stand. (Chair and doll
stand not included.) Daphne can even sit
on the couch. She’s very good at
watching TV. |
 |
 |
| 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. |
