Matilda is a
tuxedo kitten who
charms everyone she meets. Her bright amber eyes are alert and honest,
and she
is always exquisitely polite.
|
 |
Today Matilda has been
invited to
an afternoon garden party, and is properly dressed for the occasion in
a pale
green dress. Over the dress she wears a darker green polka dot pinafore
that
ties in a big bow at the back. |
|
To keep the sun from
freckling her
little pink nose, Matilda plans to wear her best summer straw hat. It
is
decorated with pink and white flowers on a dark green band. Her white
petticoats swirl about below her hemline. She will be a much admired
guest.

Matilda is an original
one-of-a-kind work of art, and she is made for display only. No molds
are ever
used in my work. She and her straw hat are hand sculpted from
paperclay, and
entirely hand painted with acrylic paints. Her whiskers are made from
stiffened
cotton thread.
|
 |
Matilda is
signed and dated, and
sealed with matte varnish for protection and preservation. She rests
firmly on
a turned wooden base that is stained and sealed in golden oak.
|
Matilda is an itty bitty
kitty.
She stands only 4 ½ 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.
