kitty 2
Yesterday was doll club, and I wanted to have this kitty finished. I decided it was a boy cat and all the cotton fabrics weren’t working for me.
I’m just not all that excited about the kitty- I have not succeeded in making one that appeals to me as much as the knitted ones I made a while back. What I am still excited about is the robots. I was working on a new one and getting too tight. I decided to just do a bunch of head. I am always inspired by the faces, my favorite part of any doll.
Now that the faces are looking at me, the bodies designs are much clearer in my head. Onward!

I know what you mean about the knitted cat. This one is not “cute” in the same way that they are, but I do adore him, specially now in his new sweater. He is more of a stray cat, he looks like he’s been in a few fights and seen a lot of things in his life. Like this one:

Oh, but I like Mr. Kitty. He looks so dashing, and for some reason French. Not the suave kind of French, but one who’s seen life and is a bit blase’ about it all while he’s sipping cafe au lait with his buddies. And the robot heads … oooh, too wonderful for words.

I agree… I would want to have a cat like him :-) Not cute, but wonderful. A grown-up cat for grown-ups ;-)

Mimi- I love this cat! I always take time to check out your blog and love all of your dolls, but somehow this cat really speaks to me. I need to take some photos of my ersatz doll collection and send them to you. Much love, your niece Kate

[...] I made his head quite a while ago and it was one of my favorites. Suddenly that made it somehow valuable and I had a really hard time doing the rest of the robot. His nose is made out of a clip from an old girdle- that part that you attach the stockings with. I have a small bag of these that my mom saved. He has snaps for ears and “eyes” for all the rest of the metal bits on the face. [...]
