"Maryanne" the Ragdoll cat doll with her own rag doll, by Max Bailey

When Maryanne asked her mother if she could have a Ragdoll for her birthday, she thought she thought she would get a little sister to play with. Instead, her mother made her a rag doll. At first she was disappointed. But she learned to love her new doll. Now she takes it with her wherever she goes.

Maryanne is a beautiful bicolor Ragdoll cat with China-blue eyes that reflect her sweet disposition.

She wears an old-fashioned blue dress gathered up at the sides. It drapes softly over a skirt striped with many colors to match the lower sleeves of the dress. Three gold buttons accent the front, and a large pink peony adorns either side.

I hand sculpted Maryanne and her rag doll, Margie, from paperclay. They are original one-of-a-kind works of art. Maryanne and Margie are completely hand painted with acrylic paints, then signed and dated and sealed with matte varnish for protection and preservation.

You can read all about Maryanne and her rag doll on her own webpage. Please visit our online doll gallery as well to see our other original folk art dolls.
