Ooh, we have a sender! Can't wait!

I'm blown away by this package I just received from WingsOfClay. I can't get over how awesome it is!!

This first picture shows everything.  She sent me a cat doll!  And the cat wrote me a note! 
 

Here's the cat wearing her hand-painted skirt.  Isn't it all so wonderful?  The arms actually move; they are held on by buttons.  This doll is such a work of art.  I will have to try fabric painting in the future; this doll will serve as inspiration for that.


Here's the face.  All the fabric on the doll is painted and crackled-looking; you can see that in this picture.  How cool are the eyes? And there is stitching to define the nose and mouth.


I ADORE these tiny polymer clay bowls!  I told WingsOfClay that I like little bowls to hold beads and buttons when I'm sewing...but the CAT says she made these with her own paws!  I flipped one over so you can see the underside. These are so tiny and wonderful, I can't get over it!  The colors are perfect.  I love them!


Thank you so much, Adrienne!  This package makes me so happy! I want you to know that I truly appreciate your talent, and the time and effort you put into making this doll and these bowls for me...I love them so much!

perfect start to the gallery (and perfect that the org. got to receive first too!)

She is extremely beautiful to me - the crackle finish reminds me of a fine raku glaze. I adore her legs and skirt, and the way the blue/green color is carried throughout. I love the pattern that is accented on the legs. How wonderful - luck Leslie... Adrienne, great job, and what a perfect way to start the Gallery and the New Year!

Fabulous start to the gallery!

that is gorgeous, I love all the little details - the layere buttons, the texture, the leg patterns... and the painted definition. Beautiful!

Is that sewn?? I should say it is moulded! It looks like ceramic to me, with all the crackles and that structure.
LOVE it! The face of the cat is just perfect, the stitches, the ears, amazing! Really a peace of art!

This is very JJ-style if you ask me!

This really deserves its own post, you should do that so we can all hit this rocks very hard, WingsOfClay!

How wonderful that you get to receive first, Leslie! Normally your partner is the lucky number one.
