New OOAK Original Kitten Folk Art Doll Figurines and Cards by Max Bailey

This is "Millicent" my new tuxedo kitten. She is planning a snowball ambush on a boy at school. Maybe she likes him, but she isn't telling.

In their one room schoolhouse, Tommy is the boy who sits behind her and teases her all the time. When the teacher isn't looking, he pulls her whiskers, and dips the tip of her tail into his inkwell. Then he calls her "Silly Millie".

Tommy will come around the corner soon. He'll walk right past her like he doesn't even see her. Then WHAP, he'll get a snowball right in the back of his head. Millicent will say "That's for you, Tommy Salami!" The snow will go down his neck, and he'll squeal and run home to his mama.

This is "Crybaby", my latest tabby kitten doll figurine. She is Hungry!!! Her little empty green bowl is ready to be filled! Now!

She cries when she’s too hot. She cries when she’s too cold. She cries when her mother leaves the room, and she cries when her mother comes back. She cries when her bowl is empty, and sometimes she cries when it’s full. No one ever asks “Where’s Crybaby?” They know where she is.

We also have a set of handmade blank greeting cards featuring images of my folk art cat dolls, including Millicent, Crybaby, and Frannie the tabby cat, up for auction on eBay too. The auction lasts until next Wednesday, December 5th.

Hope you all had a great holiday weekend!

New Original Folk Art Doll Greeting Cards by Max Bailey

We've made up a few sets of handmade greeting cards featuring images of my one-of-a-kind art dolls. The images are printed on archival-quality art paper and glued, using acid-free glue, to acid-free ivory-colored cards, that are blank inside. They are printed with archival-quality pigment-based ink, and so they are suitable for saving and framing.

The cards are 5 by 6 1/2 inches and they come with matching ivory envelopes. Each card is individually bagged for protection. They make a nice gift for cat lovers and for art doll lovers.

We will be putting these greeting cards up for auction on eBay in sets of four. Please go check out our eBay store for our art doll listings as well. We will be putting some of our dolls up at Buy It Now prices in our store for the holiday season. Currently, "Frannie" and "Leah the Star Baby" are available for adoption in our eBay store. Other one-of-a-kind art dolls are available through our web site. Please check our art doll gallery page to see our currently available dolls, and email us with any inquiries. We have more on the way that are waiting to be photographed and we are a little behind updating our web site...So, please feel free to inquire if you hear one of our dolls calling your name :)

New Handmade Winter-themed Holiday Cards by Elizabeth Ruffing

I've just put together a few sets of blank holiday cards for my Etsy shop. They are suitable for any winter holiday, or to be given just because. Above is "The Rabbit Dances".

This is "Snowy Night". Both images are printed on 100% cotton archival art paper, using Epson archival pigment-based ink for longevity, which means they can be saved, framed, and displayed.

I attached the images to acid-free ivory cardstock using acid-free glue to make cards that are 5 by 6 1/2 inches. They are blank inside, and they come with matching ivory envelopes.

They are available in sets of four, with a choice of four of one image, or two each of each image. They come bagged as a set and are currently priced at $8.00 per set of four, plus postage. They can be ordered on Etsy, or by emailing us at Ruffing's. Happy holidays!
