My mom and I have been creating away. Mom has been hopping between one art doll project and the next, as her clay and paints dry. We are happy to announce her Himalayan original one-of-a-kind cat art doll is now fully clothed! And her kitten has a nice pocket into which she is comfortably nestled.
I’ve been taking short videos of us working for some fun behind-the-scenes peeks. Here I am measuring her for her new pinafore while our calico kitty, Ruby, plays with my supplies, and my mom is at her work table sculpting a new little cat doll: https://youtube.com/shorts/DtTYYsp1YmY
Ruby is so helpful! She looks like she knows what she is doing. Just ask her.
I had to make all the little pattern pieces, and I have to admit my brain had to do some twists and turns while trying to work that out. Those shoulder ruffles gave me quite a time as well. I sewed so much of this pinafore by hand, with a needle and thread: https://youtube.com/shorts/qJtzrVy6sPw
Then I had to make that pocket the right size for the kitten and sew that on by hand as well. Finally, everything came together and I breathed a sigh of relief! https://youtube.com/shorts/9aQF3Fx2Roc
We wrote a story and a detailed description of the kitties and my mom gave them names. I need to take some photos and add my bit about the pinafore. Then I will get her official post together with her description and she will be up for adoption! Whew. Stay tuned!
Hope you all have been staying cool in the heat wave we have been having. It is good weather for staying inside and sewing and sculpting and painting.
