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

When she was born, her mother gave her the name Minerva, but only her mother ever called her that. Everyone else called her Minnie.

Minnie grew up to be a lovely tabby. Her fur is a mix of tabby colors...silver gray, buff, ivory, gold, and black.

Minnie extends a warm welcome to everyone who comes calling. In the afternoon, she sits on her porch and waits for the children to walk home from school.

They wave to her as they pass by, and she lifts her paw to greet them. Sometimes they stop by to visit with her, which makes Minnie very happy. She purrs loudly.

Today, Minnie is wearing a tan blouse patterned with blue flowers with red centers. It has a blue collar and blue cuffs.

Her tights have matching tan and blue stripes. The high-button shoes she wears have red buttons down the sides.

Minnie’s tan skirt has delicate white lace around the hemline.

Her blue apron is decorated with a line of red ribbon. Her skirt and apron were designed and created by artist Elizabeth Ruffing.

Minnie is an original 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.

Minnie’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. Her curled tail enables her to sit by herself on a shelf or 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.) Minnie is meant for display only.

Minnie is signed and sealed with matte varnish for protection and preservation. She is 8 and 1/2 inches tall.

Update: Minnie has been adopted. Thank you!

Zelda, Original One-of-a-kind Black-and-white Tuxedo Cat Art Doll by Max Bailey

Despite her exotic name, Zelda appears to be sedate, serious, and practical minded. Her soulful yellow eyes look directly out at you, so that you would never think to question her honesty.

No one suspects that Zelda leads two lives. At night, especially on moonlit nights, Zelda could be seen singing and dancing wildly in her back yard, if anyone thought to look. She sings all of her favorite songs, whirling and twirling in the moonlight, bursting with creative energy.

“Was there a party last night?” the neighbors ask.

“I didn’t hear anything,” Zelda responds, and smiles mischievously to herself.

Today, Zelda wears her daytime red flowered pinafore with a ruffled bib. It has a pattern of orange, white, and blue flowers. Her red scalloped shirt and red tights match the pinafore, and her high-button black shoes match her black fur.

Zelda's friend are Amy the white cat, and Melody the Siamese cat.

Amy, Original One-of-a-kind White Cat Art Doll by Max Bailey

Amy rises with the sun. She opens her eyes, and they are as blue as the sky on this perfect morning.

She dresses herself in her favorite pink blouse and buttons on her ivory pinafore with polka dots in two shades of pink. She carefully selects the striped tights that exactly match, then pulls on her little brown boots with the gold buttons.

Amy tiptoes out to the kitchen to see if breakfast is being served. If not, she sits herself prettily in front of the computer and checks the Yahoo kitty news, the weather forecast, and latest fashion updates. Amy prides herself on being well-informed.

Melody, Original One-of-a-kind Siamese Cat Art Doll by Max Bailey

Melody is a beautiful Siamese cat whose sapphire blue eyes, sweet expression, and loving nature make her dear to everyone who knows her.

Melody can almost always be found sitting in high places, where she can see everyone and everything around her, and where, most importantly, she can be seen.

While Melody is not known for her singing voice, she is always ready for a conversation. She’ll discuss any topic at great length.

Today, Melody is wearing her favorite blue blouse and tights, with her pinwheel patterned skirt. Her fancy gold boots match the buttons on her blouse.

Jessie and Jeannie, Original One-of-a-kind Art Cat Doll Figurine by Max Bailey

When Jessie woke up this morning, her soft little kitty doll Jeannie was right next to her, just where she was supposed to be.

"What do you want to do today?" asked Jeannie, who is one of those dolls who can talk, and always does.

"Sleep some more," mumbled Jessie, opening one eye. But it was such a lovely spring day, filled with sunshine and adventures yet to happen. Jessie took Jeannie over to the window to look out on the garden below, and they purred together at the beauty and excitement of their little world.

Jessie dressed Jeannie in her favorite blue dress, the one with the lilac ruffles at the neck and at the bottom of the sleeves, with matching lilac pantaloons and little black shoes. She picked out the pale pink petticoats that exactly matched her own. Jessie dressed herself in a light beige dress with blue flowers and pink polka dots. Over it she wore a rosy pink jumper that she tied in the back with a big bow.

Jessie and Jeannie are original one-of-a-kind works of art, and are meant for display only. No molds are ever used in my work. They are hand-sculpted from paperclay, and are entirely hand painted with acrylic paints. Jessie's whiskers are made from stiffened cotton thread.

Jessie 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.

Jessie is an itty bitty kitty. She stands only 4 3/8 inches tall.

Update: Jessie and Jeannie have already been adopted. Thank you!

Matilda the Tuxedo Kitten, Original One-of-a-kind Folk Art Doll Figurine by Max Bailey

Matilda is a tuxedo kitten who charms everyone she meets. Her bright amber eyes are alert and honest, and she is always exquisitely polite.

Today Matilda has been invited to an afternoon garden party, and is properly dressed for the occasion in a pale green dress. Over the dress she wears a darker green polka dot pinafore that ties in a big bow at the back.

To keep the sun from freckling her little pink nose, Matilda plans to wear her best summer straw hat. It is decorated with pink and white flowers on a dark green band. Her white petticoats swirl about below her hemline. She will be a much admired guest.

Crystal the Siamese Pixie Kitten, Original One-of-kind Art Doll Figurine by Max Bailey

Crystal is a Siamese Pixie kitten with beautiful butterfly wings.


Little mythical pixies of folklore love glittery things, and Crystal is no exception. In the winter, she loves to look at raindrops, and she marvels at icicles.

On warm summer nights, if you leave your window open just a crack, Crystal may fly into your house, especially if you have a crystal chandelier.

She might peek into your jewelry box. If you cannot find your earrings, don’t worry. They’ll show up. Crystal’s been known to borrow shiny things, but always brings them back. They might turn up by the toaster, or on the hall table. She often can’t remember where she got things from.

Crystal looks very innocent in her simple country blue dress with pale pink petticoats. She holds her tiny paws demurely in front of her, and her long dark tail curls around from beneath her petticoats.

Crystal 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 is hand-sculpted from paperclay, and is entirely hand painted using acrylic paints. Her whiskers are made from stiffened cotton thread.
