They are frosted with vanilla, peppermint, orange, and lemon, and are swirled, covered with sprinkles, or just plain. Sugar’s eyes get really big when she sees the strawberry ones.

Meesha and May are handmade, original, one-of-a-kind Himalayan cat and kitten art dolls, hand painted and hand sculpted in paperclay by artist Anne Ruffing, with sewing done by Elizabeth Ruffing.

Meesha is a charming mama Himalayan cat, whose favorite time of the year is May, the very name she
gave to her sweet little kitten.

During that time of the year, Meesha likes to take May out for walks to look at the daffodils, hyacinths, and tulips all coming to life.

May gets very excited about these excursions. She bounces around, swatting at the flower buds and chasing bugs.

Then, quite suddenly, she will need a nap. That is why Meesha sewed a big pocket into her pinafore, so May could slip inside and fall asleep on the way back home.

Meesha and May both see the world through beautifully vibrant blue eyes.

May is often carefully tucked into the pocket of Meesha’s flowered pinafore, where, through the wise teachings of her mom, she learns about this world that has newly become her own.

Meesha’s pinafore was designed by Elizabeth Ruffing, who hand drew all the tiny pattern pieces and did most of the stitching by hand, with a needle and thread. It is made from a pretty blue floral cotton.

Her pocket was also carefully stitched by hand after fitting it to May, to make sure she could be comfortably nestled inside when she wants to take a nap or be carried by Meesha.

Under her pinafore, Meesha wears a rich blue blouse with a hand-painted rose-colored flower that sets off her crisp white collar. The scalloped trim on her collar matches the trim on her cuffs.

Meesha’s pinafore has a deeply scooped neck to show off the flower at Meesha’s neckline.

Her pantaloons are painted a delicate pink, and from them emerge two pretty kitty legs wearing painted tights that are striped in two shades of blue.

Meesha wears light golden-brown painted shoes, which are high-buttoned, and, of course, extremely fashionable.

Meesha is 8 and 1/2 inches tall.

May, in her rosy-red painted pinafore and yellow blouse, is only 1 and 3/4 inches tall. She was entirely sculpted from paperclay, which is the sculpting clay used to create Meesha’s thoughtful face.

The rest of Meesha’s head, body, arms, and legs are made from 100% cotton fabric, which is sewn, stuffed, and then painted with acrylic paints. Her arms are button-jointed, and her paws are needle-sculpted.

Meesha’s body and pinafore were created from our own designs and patterns. Meesha’s beautiful face and May’s little self were hand sculpted in paperclay without the use of any molds, and then lovingly painted by hand.

Meesha can sit upright all by herself, with the help of her tail, which supports her nicely. She can also sit in a doll chair or stand with a small doll stand. (Chair and doll stand not included.) May can sit in Meesha’s pocket, or lie in her lap or in a little doll house sized cradle (doll house furniture not included).

Jefferson is an original, one-of-kind tan bunny rabbit miniature art doll figurine, handmade, hand sculpted in paperclay, and hand painted by artist Elizabeth Ruffing.

Jefferson looks wide awake with his golden-brown eyes that have soft yellow rings toward their centers. He is tan with blue polka dots, and wears a red tie with tiny gold polka dots under his blue shirt collar.

Jefferson’s personal mission is to find the famous “bunny trail” from the Easter song…the one that Peter Cottontail comes “hoppin’ down.” He researched giant volumes in the library and combed the Internet for information.

Thinking he found a lead, Jefferson took a picnic lunch to his neighbor’s yard, so he could spend the entire day looking along a path that goes into the woods behind his house, but there was no sign of that “Bunny Trail.”

Weary of searching, Jefferson sat on a log, unpacked his brown paper bag, and ate his carrots and lettuce. Then he sighed, yawned, and vowed to set out on his quest again tomorrow.

Jefferson is a handmade miniature original one-of-a-kind rabbit art doll figurine. I hand sculpted him from paperclay over wood, in multiple stages, to allow for drying and detailing. I painted him by hand, under a magnifying light, with tiny brushes, using acrylic paints. Jefferson is signed and sealed with gloss varnish for protection and preservation.
