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

Daphne charms everyone she meets.



With her sweet little tabby cat face, and her big trusting yellow-green eyes, she has an air of total innocence.



She’s shy and unassuming, but she will happily raise her paw to show you her favorite glass fish bracelet.





Watch out for Daphne, or she’ll steal your heart away.



Daphne is an original one-of-a-kind work of art, made from 100% cotton fabric which is sewn, stuffed, and completely hand-painted with acrylic paints. She is 13 inches tall.



I 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.

Her arms are button-jointed, and her paws are needle-sculpted. I painted her fur in a multitude of tabby colors…silver gray, buff, ivory, gold, and black.

Her pinafore is made from colorful fabric striped in orange, gold, purple, rose, and magenta. I painted her collar and cuffs to match the magenta stripe, and her tights to match the purple stripe. Her kitty feet are covered with ivory high-button shoes that have decorative toes and gold buttons.

Daphne is signed and dated, and sealed with matte varnish for protection and preservation.

Daphne can sit upright all by herself. Her tail supports her very nicely. She can also sit on a chair, or stand with a doll stand. (Chair and doll stand not included.) Daphne can even sit on the couch. She’s very good at watching TV.



Update: Daphne has already been adopted. Thank you!

Bluebell and Bridget, Original One-of-a-kind Siamese Cat and Kitten Folk Art Dolls by Max Bailey

I am happy to introduce Bluebell, a lovely Siamese mom. Wherever she goes, she carries her kitten tucked safely into the pocket of her dress.

Wise and watchful, her eyes are a brilliant sapphire blue. She is intelligent, inquisitive, and ready at any time to have a conversation.

Bluebell is as proper and respectable as a new mom could be, with her starched white collar, prim pearl buttons, and fashionable two-tone, top-stitched high-button shoes. From her bright white bloomers emerge kitty legs in striped blue and burnt orange tights that match the sleeves of her dress.

Bluebell’s dress has a bluebell flower on the chest pocket, and a fringed pocket on the skirt that matches the fringe at her hemline. She is 13 inches tall.

Lovable Bridget, though only 3 inches tall, is highly detailed right down to her tiny whiskers. Under her mom’s keen supervision, she’s just learning to explore the world that is hers.

I absolutely love Siamese cats, and in making these two, wanted to show the stunning contrasts of a light-colored body, dark points, and extraordinary blue eyes.

To give her that Siamese profile, I modeled the front of Bluebell’s face from paper clay, smoothed into the fabric.

Her whiskers are made from stiffened pearl cotton which I threaded through the paper clay before it dried. Her arms are button-jointed for easy posing, and her paws are needle-sculpted.

Both Bluebell and Bridget are made from 100% cotton fabric which is sewn, stuffed, and completely hand-painted with acrylic paints. They are original one-of-a-kind works of art, created from my own designs and patterns.

They are signed and dated, and sealed with matte varnish for protection and preservation. They are meant for display only.

Bluebell can sit upright all by herself. Her tail supports her very nicely.

She can also sit in a chair, or stand with a doll stand. (Chair and doll stand not included.)

Update: Bluebell and Bridget have already been adopted. Thank you!





Bluebell and Bridget's tabby cat friend is Daphne. Update: Daphne has been adopted as well. Thanks again!

Siamese kitty on the way! This is "Bluebell" in progress, and, contrary to what you see here, she is already painted, dressed, ready and waiting for her official photo shoot. And...she has her own Siamese kitten!

New One-of-a-kind Original Star Baby Art Doll by Elizabeth Ruffing

"Sigrid the Star Baby" is making her debut! Sigrid is a newly born star. She is jointed at her shoulders and hips so she can lie down or sit. She is made of 100% cotton which was gessoed, painted with acrylic artists' paint, then sealed with matte varnish for protection...just like I would treat an original painting.

She has an adorable pouting baby face, with one little tear on her cheek.

I am offering a giclée print of "Moon and Star" as well. It makes a lovely companion piece for Sigrid because it goes so nicely with her turquoise and gold onesie. "Moon and Star" is featured on her hang tag.
