I have been making custom cat dolls lately! This is Princess Sophie-Cat, who I made for a very dear friend. I sculpted the face, paws, and shoes with clay, and made the body with felt and a posable wire skeleton. All the clothes were hand sewn, embroidered, and beaded. This project became much more complicated than I had originally intended, but I'm so happy with how it turned out!

A few progress shots that show how I build my doll bodies- I use clay for the head, hands, and shoes, build a wire skeleton, and then use yarn to build up the limbs and body. I mostly use felt with some fuzzy yarn accents to make the cat fur.

And then I sew them their little clothes and witch hats (of course).

The last of this group of cat witches, a little goth themed black cat!

Another of the cat witches I have been working on to sell. I got to do a little bit of wire wrapping on this guy's staff which I always enjoy!

I'm hoping to sell some dolls over the next few months, currently looking into different online marketplaces. My first drop is going to be different OOAK Cat Witches, including this colorful cat!
