Her tutu is vintage cotton organdy. She is 19″ tall. Her hair is made of wool knit from a thrifted boiled wool vest. I also used it for Kitty 10 and it is almost all gone- too bad because I love the color. [...] [...] She is made of fulled (felted) woven wool. Her tutu is vintage cotton organdy. She is 19″ tall.

Sure has character! He looks purrfect from here, (my god this is so un-original!) I like the "givig him a new face" bit. I know what you mean about competitions- just go with the flow, and don't forget that it's what makes you happy that counts, crafting and enjoying yourself. What a fabulous cat! Sure has character!

Puss 'n Boots? although somehow I feel like this guy is ready to roam, so it might be The Accidental Tourist! He does look so very sophisticated with a vest and tie. Probably not the sort of cat who rolls over and says, "rub my tummy," more likely the sort who seeks attention on his own terms. Regarding the competition, do what adds pleasure to your life. If entering would enrich your daily life, go for it. If the deadline would stress you out, just enjoy looking at what other people submit. Either way, you win! Talk to you soon!

From the first picture, I knew we had a MR. cat, full of verve and self importance. I suppose he has a pipe in the book bag, right?! Such a personality, I'm already making up stories about him. About entering art in competitons... I've known both the joys of blue ribbons and the sorrows of being overlooked. Both tend to put the brakes on my artistic process for a while; either way, I feel stuck... the flow of my work disrupted. Also, I notice when I'm thinking about entering a piece, I tend to hold it away from my heart and judge it more critically, getting more uptight about it and changing my relationship to it in a slightly negative way. That's my 2 cents for today... But back to my opening comment... whichever way you decide, your dolls are winners! Whether or not you enter, you are a winner in my opinion.
