Daphne, Original One-of-a-kind Tabby Cat Folk Art Doll by Max BaileyI 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.

(Chair and doll stand not included.) Daphne can even sit on the couch. She’s very good at watching TV.
