I am often contacted by visitors who would like to buy dolls they have seen in the picture galleries. But all of these dolls have been made as part of projects or have been pre-ordered a long time before they were made. Due to lack of time I only make a very limited number of dolls each year, but I have decided to make some of these dolls available on Feltmaking.com as "Doll of the month".

The doll of the month is this little cute kitten that I have worked with to find a good and not too difficult animal for a new online course. While I worked with it, it took over and became more complicated than I had planned and therefore I wanted to make it for doll of the month.

I have chosen a really nice wool from a Danish firm “Henrichsens Uldspinderi”. This wool is full of air between the fibers and that makes it just the right softness and pureness for such a little kitten.

It is made with my technique for animals where I study the animal carefully and then make all the separate parts of the body and needle them together in the position I like and then at the surface of the animal I needle extra shapes to get this special expression that a kitten has. The proportions must be carefully worked with especially must the head be bigger compared to the body shape compared to a grown up cat.

Working with white wool also demands that the dark brown I use for the face lines must be really, really thin so the face will not be too rough. The kitten is 14 cm long and 14 cm broad.

The price is $ 175 (USD) and this includes shipping. Only the one dolls is available so if you click on the "Buy Now"-link and the dolls has already been sold you will get an error message.
