This is
Ginger. Ginger is
an orange and white tabby, and
she’s a country cat. On
summer nights,
Ginger loves to sit on the porch in her wicker chair and listen to the
crickets
and the katydids. On
pleasant fall days,
she loves to walk through the dried leaves and hear them crunch and
crackle
under her shoes.
|
 |
| Ginger loves gingham
dresses,
especially this one, with its ruffling ruffle and long sash that she
ties in a
pretty bow in the back. |
|
 |
| She also loves George,
her gingham
alligator. When she takes George out for
a walk, all the chickens go clucking and running to the other side of
the
barnyard. She thinks maybe that’s
because they don’t like the clatter George’s wooden wheels make as they
roll
over the pebbles by the back door. |
 |
| Ginger is an original
one-of-a-kind work of art, created from my own design and
pattern. She is made from 100% cotton fabric which is
sewn, stuffed, and completely hand painted with acrylic
paints. She is 13 inches tall. |
 |
| I sculpted
Ginger’s face from
paperclay, which I smoothed into her fabric head.
Her pearl cotton whiskers were threaded
through the paperclay before it dried.
I
made her gingham dress from 100% cotton fabric, from my own design and
pattern. |
 |
| Ginger
is very accommodating. Her
curly
white-tipped tail supports her very well, so she will sit very prettily
all by
herself on a shelf or a table, or in a cabinet.
She will also happily sit in a chair, or stand with a doll
stand. (Doll stand
not included.) Her
arms are button-jointed. |
 |
| Ginger’s white on white
polka dot
bloomers are painted on, as are her striped tights, and the high-button
scuffed
up shoes that cover her kitty feet. |
 |
| George is
made of wood. I
painted him with my best version of green
and white gingham, and gave him droopy eyelids and sleepy yellow eyes. He’s about 7 inches long
and about 2 inches
wide. |
 |
Ginger
is signed and dated, and sealed with matte varnish for protection and
preservation. Ginger and
George are original works of art and are meant for display only. |
 |
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. |
