| HEDDA AND HOPPER by Max

 |
| Hedda and Hopper are the best of friends. She’s a calico
cat with watchful green eyes. He’s a
white bunny with inquisitive blue eyes.
They see everything that everybody is doing. |
 |
| Hedda
and Hopper also have big ears. They listen to anything anybody
says. There are no secrets these two don’t know. |
|
| If there is something (or a bit of nothing) you would like to know,
they would be happy to tell you about it.
They provide this very valuable service for no charge, which is somewhat
less than the cost of a newspaper. |
 |
| Who
was invited to Lulu’s party? What did Samantha name her new
kittens? Who bought that pretty dress that was in the
shop window…the one with the big bow in front?
They know. |
 |
 |
| Hedda is wearing that soft yellow and orange dress, with
the big bow and a ruffle that frames her pretty face. Her arms are button jointed with antique
looking metal buttons of filigreed gold on black, so she can easily pose. Her blouse is cream colored with yellow
cuffs, painted on, as are her white bloomers with yellow polka dots, and her
two-toned high button shoes. She’s an
original one-of-a-kind work of art created from my own design and pattern, and
is made from 100% cotton fabric which I sewed, stuffed, and completely hand
painted with acrylic paints. I made her
dress from 100% cotton fabric, and it too is created from my own design and pattern. |
 |
 |
| Hedda is 13 inches tall.
Her face was sculpted from paperclay smoothed into her fabric head, and
her stiffened pearl cotton whiskers were threaded through the paperclay before
it dried. |
 |
 |
| Hopper the white bunny is made of wood. I painted his eyes a brilliant blue and
coordinated his colors to match those in Hedda’s dress. He’s about 4 ½ inches long and 2 inches wide. |
 |
 |
| Hedda’s curly tail allows her to sit up all by herself on
a shelf or a table, or in a cabinet. She
can also sit in a chair or stand with a doll stand. (Chair and doll stand not included.) She
is signed and dated, and sealed with
matte varnish for protection and preservation. Hedda and Hopper are
one-of-a-kind original works of art and are meant for display only.
They are not meant to be played with. |

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. |
