| | BLUEBELL
AND BRIDGET by Max
Bailey (already adopted) | | Back
to Art Dolls |  | | 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.) |  |  |  |  | Many
hours go into the making of each of my dolls. I
strongly believe in fine craftsmanship and artistry, and
I pay great
attention to small details. Each
doll is
a unique work of art, and I am able to produce them in only a very
limited
number.
I do my
best to create
little dolls with big personalities because that is what I love to do. |  | | "Bluebell and Bridget" and "Daphne",
