Deirdre is a lovely Birman cat.
Deirdre doesn’t walk. She wafts. Sometimes she floats. Her silky hair wafts and floats along with her.
The first thing you notice about Deirdre are her deep sapphire-blue eyes, looking directly out at you from her dark little face. They are full of mystery and wonder.
“What a pretty kitty!” you can’t help saying.
“I know, but thank you,” she replies, and wonders why you state the obvious. It is more fact than flattery.
In spite of her awareness of her very good looks, Deirdre is a sweet and loving soul. She never utters a cross word, and is always patient and gentle.
Deirdre wears a lilac-blue pinafore that has a pretty pattern of grape, dark turquoise, and pink. The bib and over-the-shoulder straps are ruffled in the same fabric. Under the pinafore is a medium-blue blouse with flower buttons down the front. The collar and cuffs are pale lavender blue and edged in red-purple scalloped trim.
Deirdre’s dark tail emerges from her white bloomers. Her tights are striped in pale lavender blue and red-purple. Tan high-button shoes cover her kitty feet.
Deirdre is a one-of-a-kind work of art, created from my own design and pattern. She is made from 100% cotton fabric which has been sewn, stuffed, and completely hand-painted with acrylic paints. Her whiskers are made from stiffened cotton thread.
Deirdre’s paws are needle-sculpted, and her arms are button-jointed so that she can pose. Her face was sculpted from paperclay smoothed into her fabric head.
Deirdre’s curled tail enables her to sit demurely all by herself on a shelf or on a table, or in a cabinet. She can also sit on a chair or stand with a doll stand. (Chair and doll stand not included.) Deirdre is meant for display only.
Deirdre is signed and sealed with matte varnish for protection and preservation. She is 8 and 1/2 inches tall.
Update: Deirdre has been adopted. Thank you!
Ava is a handmade miniature original, one-of-a-kind cat art doll, hand painted and hand sculpted in paperclay by artist Max Bailey.
Everyone who meets Ava loves her. She has such a sweet face, and such beautiful blue eyes. Ava is a Birman kitten.
Ava’s dress is soft blue, with a fancy white ruffle, edged in pink.
Ava comes with her lovely rose Victorian chair. It is as elegant as she is.
Ava is a one-of-a-kind work of art, and is meant for display only.
She was sculpted from paperclay in multiple stages, to allow for drying and detailing.
Ava was painted under a magnifying light, with tiny brushes, one hair at a time.
Ava and her chair are 1:12 scale. (One inch equals one foot.)
Update: Ava has been adopted. Thank you!
