I made a Kitty Kat.... sometime ago I made a White Rabbit for an Alice in Wonderland swap ( I can't find the post) at the same time I made a kitty... she laid naked on the desk for eons but now she's painted and dressed and ready to party..She's made from calico, stuffed, painted with gesso and then acrylic paint.The calico takes on a lovely leathery feel once it's had a few coats of paint.

Just love those stripy legs! and those little 'pumpkins' are just so cute... they are available from The Ribbon Girl as are all the ribbons, buckle, bell and tulle
