This is a One of a Kind Cat with a pattern that I designed.  He will come to you signed and dated.  He was made of muslin fabric, painted with acrylic paints and stained to give him a primitive look.  His tail has a wire that was inserted in the making process, allowing him to stand alone.  He wears a black hat and painted boots and cape.

Primitive Hippy Art Doll~One of a Kind~SOLD

She could also sign “I love you” if you know American Sign Language. :o)   Her skirt was made with orange tie-dyed cotton fabric and placed as a hip hugger style so that you could still see her belly button.  She is also braless so you can see the nipples through her see through top.  :o)  Her hair looks like dreadlocks which was securely sewed to her head. I added a vintage peace symbol and a few other charms to her bracelet.  Her vest has fringes and a decorative waist tie to keep the vest in place.  I also added earrings to match.   This doll measures 28 inches tall.
