The wonderful Liz
commissioned this doll,
based on her bombay cat;
a real beauty with
black fur and golden eyes.
A cat in a red corset?
How could I resist?
So here she is.
Corset lacing at the back.
I loved the brocade,
but it wasn't the easiest thing
to set eyelets in.
Thanks to Patti and Paula at
I now call this a
Butt Bow.
Red kinky boots!
These are modeled with
paper clay directly onto the cloth,
with a cocktail stick armature
for the heel and then lots of
painting and sanding.
Posing!
She's on her way
to the UK
but I thought I'd
post the photos now.
Liz had her own wonderful dolls
like Holly Berry here.

I like the corset lacing at the back! Thanks for stopping by my blog and leaving a sweet comment! ~Pernilla
ReplyDeleteThank you for dropping by, Pernilla. I'm glad you like my cat's naughty corset!
DeleteBeautiful, exquisite design in this red dress! Beautiful photos!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I'm really glad you like the photos :)
DeleteThat cat is so unique!
ReplyDeleteI can honestly say I've never seen a cat in a corset before.
It's perfect - you have a wonderful imagination x
Thank you! I have to point to Liz who gave me the commission. Such a wonderful idea, I had to run with it.
DeleteIt perfectly screams Bombay! Those eyes! Not to mention the wonderful ears. Of course now I muist find a copy of Kinky Boots (the movie) to watch. I loved that film.
ReplyDeleteI give this project an Attitude Plus!!! (or is it Cattitude?)
Thank you, Dogs Mom! I did a lot of research first and found that there are differences between the US and UK breeds, as they emerged independently of each other. I also sculpt my heads over an egg shape, so I had to emphasis the oriental cat look. But if she reminds you of a bombay, then I'm thrilled to bits! And yes, cattitude was what I was going for!
DeleteYou're awesome!!!!
ReplyDeleteI love this...!!!!
Oh, thank you, what a very sweet thing to say. It was a real pleasure to make this cat, she was just a lot of fun!
DeleteSounds like you are keeping very, very busy! I have kind of been under the weather, but trying to edit my Sci-fi novel.
ReplyDeleteTake care!
hugs,
Teresa

ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Penny! You can see why I was so delighted to get this commission!
DeleteLOVE the Bombay cat in the corset ! The golden eyes are awesome :)
ReplyDeleteThank you! Dear me, yes, those eyes were fun to paint! But once she had them, she seemed to have real character, so I'm thrilled with how they tuned out.
Deleteoh,my!!!! this cat is magnificent!!!
ReplyDeleteyou are a master of your art..your dolls just take my breath away!!!
Aww, thank you, Ann. I'm just really lucky to be doing something I enjoy.
DeleteThe cat in a red corset is one unique doll, I like her! As usually, the details are subtle, and the cat is really gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! She was such fun to make and dress! I need to make something else with those kinky boots!
DeleteNow YOU, are a fabulous example of an artist that I see as EXTRAORDINARY....your life is certainly BEYOND the page my friend! This is wonderful! Who would have thought of a cat in a corset, for sure! And she is adorable and the choice of color for her dress and lovely boots is striking! You have certainly punctuated your art with a strong exclamation mark!

Anita
Thank you so much, Anita! I wish I could take credit for the commission; I was thrilled with Liz's original concept.

ReplyDeleteYes please, Stacy! I'm so glad you like this one, now you've seen her all done. And yes, Butt Bow! I didn't invent the expression but it's perfect for those big bows at the back.
DeleteOh she is an amazing creation! Love love the corset!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jennifer. She was a commision I was thrilled to get. I'm just waiting for her to arrive safely in the UK. Always nerve wracking!
DeleteGreetings Rhissanna,
ReplyDeleteYes, it's me, Penny the Jack Russell dog and modest internet superstar! I note another Penny in the comments. Hello, another Penny :)
You have some very talented friends. Yes, even I like the cat doll in a red Corvette, sorry, corset. As for those red kinky boots, they look very much like my human, Gary's.
Pawsitive wishes,
Penny :)
Hi there, Penny the Jack Russell dog and renowned modest internet star. Thank you so much for joining my doll blog. I'm glad you approve of the red boots and I'm sure Gary looks absolutely fab in his. I'm sorry it's a cat doll. I think it's about time I made a dog doll. Would you like to pose for one? No pressure...
ReplyDeleteAha, I note that Penny the Jack Russell dog and modest internet superstar has been telling you my supposedly well-kept secret. At least she didn't mention my pink stilettos :)
DeletePenny, even though modest, would be happy to pose for you. Please let us know if you still wish to proceed. No pressure on you, my friend.
Penny's alleged human,
Gary :)
Next year, if I can make the time, I'd like to see if I can sculpt a Penny-head. She really does have a cute face! If I can make a Penny-head, I can probably make a Penny-doll.
DeleteSending you warm wishes for a happy and blessed Thanksgiving.
ReplyDeleteYou make blogging a pleasure!
Hugs,
Patti
I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving too, Patti. I'm thankful for your wonderful Linky party. I've seen it grow from a small beginning to something big and fun.
DeleteYour cat with corset is amazing and I love the shocking pink colour you used. Wonderful job.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Shashi! She was great fun to make. I'm happy to say she arrived safely in her new home, too.
DeleteShe is a sassy one. I love cats and this cat hot mama is the cutest.You are awesome creating your dolls.
ReplyDeleteI would like to invite you to Sherry and my Blog.We have a special post for you to see.
Merry Christmas,
Marie Antoinette
Glad you like her, Marie! She was a treat to make!
