My name is
Floradora, and I am a white Persian kitten.
Mama says I look just
like the puffy little white clouds you see in the sky on a nice summer
day.

This morning
Mama told me not to get my dress dirty and not to show my petticoats.
She says it's not at all
ladylike for little girls to show their petticoats. "Floradora", she
says, "If petticoats were meant to be seen, they'd be worn over your
dress instead of under it."

But my
petticoat is really pretty. It's the color of roses, and it has a big
ruffle with yellow polka dots. It's so pretty I have to show it to you.
It's not like I'm showing somebody my bloomers!
My
dress is okay too. It’s blue
and has pink daisies that go all around the top in a circle, and a
ruffle with
a yellow border. If there was a contest though, my polka dot petticoat
would
win. That’s for sure!

Max Bailey
sculpted me and my
wonderful petticoat from paperclay, and made my cute little whiskers
from
stiffened cotton thread. I’m completely hand painted with acrylic
paints.

I’m a
one-of-a-kind work of art,
and am made for display only. Max never uses molds in his work, so
there’s
never going to be anybody else like me.
I'm signed
and dated, and sealed with matte varnish for protection and
preservation. I rest firmly on a turned wooden base that is stained and
sealed in golden oak, and I'm 7 and 1/4 inches tall.
I come with a hang tag, a certificate of authenticity, and a copy of my story.

| From Max...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. |
