When
Jessie woke up this morning, her soft little kitty doll Jeannie was
right next to her, just where she was supposed to be.
"What
do you want to do today?" asked Jeannie, who is one of those dolls who
can talk, and always does.
|
 |
|
"Sleep some more," mumbled Jessie,
opening one eye. But it was such a lovely spring day, filled with
sunshine and adventures yet to happen. Jessie took Jeannie over to the
window to look out on the garden below, and they purred together at the
beauty and excitement of their little world.

Jessie dressed Jeannie in her
favorite blue dress, the one with the lilac ruffles at the neck and at
the bottom of the sleeves, with matching lilac pantaloons and little
black shoes. She picked out the pale pink petticoats that exactly
matched her own. Jessie dressed herself in a light beige dress with
blue flowers and pink polka dots. Over it she wore a rosy pink jumper
that she tied in the back with a big bow.

Jessie and Jeannie are original
one-of-a-kind works of art, and are meant for display only. No molds
are ever used in my work. They are hand-sculpted from paperclay, and
are entirely hand painted with acrylic paints. Jessie's whiskers are
made from stiffened cotton thread.

|
Jessie
is signed and dated, and sealed with matte varnish for protection and
preservation. She rests firmly on a turned wooden base that is stained
and sealed in golden oak.
|
|
Jessie
is an itty bitty kitty. She stands only 4 3/8 inches tall.

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.
