Kelly the Jack Russell Terrier, Original One-of-a-kind Folk Art Dog Doll Figurine by Max Bailey

Kelly has so many admirers, she barely has time to sit down before the doorbell rings again.

One brings her a box of doggie candy. One calls to give her a brand new red ball. One brings her a bouquet of pink roses.

She graciously thanks each and every one of them.

Kelly likes the roses so much she pins one to her ruffled collar, right in front.

She sighs and goes back to watching her soap operas.

Kelly wears a pale green dress with a beautiful teal collar and cuffs edged in gold. The dress has a wide sash that ties in a big bow at the back. Tiers of white petticoats can be seen below her dress.

Kelly is an original one-of-a-kind work of art, and she is meant for display only. No molds are ever used in my work. She and her rose bouquet are hand sculpted from paperclay, and entirely hand painted using acrylic paints.

Kelly 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.

Kelly stands 5 and 3/4 inches tall.

Update: Kelly has already been adopted. Thank you!

Wendy Westie, Original One-of-a-kind Folk Art Dog Doll by Max Bailey

Wendy is a sincere and generous West Highland White Terrier.

She loves dog bones.

If you give her a bone, she will put it in her pocket and save it until you give her another.

Wendy worries that a friend might come along who needs a bone. There Wendy would be, munching on the last bit of her only dog bone. That would make her feel terrible!

Wendy is wearing a purple dress with gold polka dots. Her lilac blue apron is trimmed in gold. It is ruffled and has a big sash tied at the back in a pretty bow.

Her ivory collar matches the petticoats that show below her dress, and you can see her cute little white tail.

Cassie Corgi, Original One-of-a-kind Folk Art Dog Doll Figurine by Max Bailey

This is Cassie, and she’s a Pembroke Welsh Corgi.

Wednesday is Cassie’s favorite day.

On Wednesdays, Cassie puts on a nice outfit, tucks her little polka dot purse under her arm, and goes to The Doggie Emporium.

There she chats with her friends, has her nails done, and shops for new outfits and delectable treats to last her through the week.

With a sigh of satisfaction, Cassie walks home with her new treasures, and begins to look forward to next Wednesday.

Cassie wears a neatly tailored blue jacket with gold trim. Her skirt has stripes of coral, pale blue, green, antique gold, and the blue of her jacket. Her coral purse has antique gold trim and blue polka dots. Below her skirt you can see the ruffles of her ivory petticoats.

Trina the Chihuahua, Original One-of-a-kind Folk Art Dog Doll Figurine by Max Bailey

Every morning Trina holds her mirror up to her face and peers into it.

“Am I as pretty as I was yesterday?” she asks herself.

“Oh yes, much prettier,” she decides.

She picks out several dresses from her vast wardrobe, and tries on each of them.

“This is my favorite today,” she exclaims, and puts on the lovely pink dress with the mauve scalloped collar.

Trina is entirely pleased with herself. She can now go about her day with complete confidence.
