 |
| Catarina
is a lovely silver tabby Maine Coon Cat. You can tell she's a
Maine Coon cat by her large tufted ears, her big oval eyes, and her
long whiskers. |
 |
 |
| Catarina,
in spite of her name, has no idea she's a cat. She's quite
sure
she's a person, but just a bit more clever and a great deal more
fashionable. |

|
 |
| She
loves her flowered dress with its lace shawl collar and cuffs. The
rosette on the collar looks just right with her pretty
nose. |
 |
 |
| Her
favorite pull toy is Harold. He's a purple giraffe.
Catarina doesn't know what a giraffe is, but she doesn't
think
he's a person, like herself. When they take a walk, he rolls
along behind her, unless they're going down a hill. |
 |
 |
| Catarina
is an original one-of-a-kind work of art, created from my own design
and patterns. She is made from 100%cotton fabric which is
sewn,
stuffed, and completely hand painted with acrylic paints. She
is
13 inches tall and meant for display only. |
 |
 |
| I
sculpted the front of her face from paperclay, which I smoothed into
the fabric. Her whiskers are made from stiffened pearl
cotton,
threaded through the clay before it dried. The tufts on her
ears
are stiffened cotton thread, sewn into the tip of each ear. |
 |
| Her
arms are button-jointed, so she can be easily posed, and her paws are
needle-sculpted. Catarina's striped tail supports her very
nicely, so that she can sit up all by herself. She can also
sit
on a chair, or stand with a doll stand. (Chair and doll stand not
included.) |
 |
| I
made Catarina's fashionable dress from cotton fabric that has a
delicate pattern of dainty leaves and roses whichare blue, orange, and
purple. The lace at the neckline and cuffs is real cotton
lace,
sewn on by hand. She has painted white bloomers, and her
kitty
legs are covered with orange tights that match the roses in her dress.
She wears cute little two-tone high button shoes in blue and
ivory. |
 |
| Harold the giraffe is
made of wood, which I hand painted. He is 3 3/4 inches tall
and his base is 2 inches long. |
 |
| Catarina is signed and
dated, and sealed with matte varnish for protection and preservation. |
 |
 |
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. |
