"Christy and Quackle", One-of-a-kind Tabby Cat and Duck Folk Art Doll Figurine by Max Bailey

Christy is a sweet little tabby cat with a mischievous side.

Her favorite toy is a yellow duck.

When she squeezes his tummy he makes a startling noise halfway between a quack and a cackle, and so she calls him "Quackle".

Christy has heard that ducks like water.

She's taken Quackle down to the pond a few times, but doesn't dare put him in the water. She's afraid he might float away.

Christy 's friends wish he would float away.

Christy thinks it's very entertaining to sneak up behind them and squeeze Quackle. They don't think it's at all amusing.

Christy's friends are going toy shopping on the Internet. They are going to order a dog that barks, a lion that roars, and a parrot that shrieks.

Christy is an original one-of-a-kind work of art and is meant for display only. No molds are ever used in my work. She and her toy duck are hand sculpted from paperclay, and she is entirely hand painted using acrylic paints. She is signed and dated and sealed with matte varnish for protection and preservation.
