Introducing, Ariel, my Snow Leopard cub. Ariel is jointed and soft armatured for posing. I carefully colored Ariel's coat using many photos of Snow Leopard cubs. I love the intricate patterns in a Snow Leopard.

P.S. I will be offering Ariel along with Angel, my gray tiger cat, in my next Cat Gazette.

Presenting! Angel ~ My newest cat design. I do love Angel. She represents almost a year of experiments in design. She is life size and can be posed in almost all the cat poses, even the silly ones.
P.S. I will be offering Angel in my next Cat Gazette with lots more photos.

As many of my friends and collectors know; when I can, I include a canvas bag with an image of one of my cats with every adoption. I really like the way this bag turned out! It's my young Snow Leopard. My Holiday Season cats will have a new bag♥  Karen, KJ Lyons Design

Hello, all!

Purrley has both joints and soft armatures and can be posed in many different positions. Purrley is created out of Tissavel fauc fur and has deep green glass eyes. Hope you enjoy

Presenting, Cobie. Cobie is 17" long with a 10" tail ~ He is created out of the finest quality Belgium faux furs with paw pads of soft sculptured leather. Like my other cats Cobie will be very flexible and poseable. Cobie’s head is jointed, with front legs that have soft armatures, and back legs that are loosely jointed so they will hang naturally when Cobie is lifted.

WoW! Beautiful kitty; red tiger, gray tiger and longhair

Gail and SueAnn,
What a coincidence  I just finished creating this Balinese kitty!

Cute. Wish I could do that, today

Thank you! everybody. I am so happy you enjoyed Winston. He is one of my fun guys    He is off to his new home in the UK and I'm sure he'll be making his new owner smile as much as he made me happy.

Winston is created out of my new cat pattern for 2014. I wanted to created a cat that could pose in many different natural cat poses yet still feel soft like a real cat.
Winston is 15" long with a 9" tail. He is created out of the highest quality Belgium faux fur. His features are needle sculptured (no felting was used) and he has a hand-colored realistic tabby coat. He has brown/gold eyes set in handmade eye sockets, and an ultra suede nose. His paw pads are sculptured tan soft leather and are soft like a real cat's paws. His head is jointed and his front legs have soft armatures that enable Winston to give hugs and pose in many different positions. His back legs are loosely jointed. He has carefully placed interior bead socks to add weight in the right places.

Reminds me of my cat Louie. He works with yarn and thread 

Oh, I have to make one of these! I'm just finishing a Brown Tabby Maine Coon cat but a kitten is next on my list.

I'm hiding. You can't see me    Yes, I WANT this one, too.
Karen

Peter, that's the real kitten. They might have sharpened the edges in Photoshop, but kittens are always perfect ;-) ANd I want this one!
Karen

OHhhh! I want them    I never see ginger cats up for adoption in my neighborhood. I'm always looking

Saphira is a Snow Leopard cub. I named her Saphira after her deep blue kitten eyes. Saphira is 14" long with a 9" tail. She is created out of the highest quality Italian faux fur. Her features are needle sculptured (no felting was used) and she has a hand colored, realistic, Snow Leopard coat. Her sapphire blue eyes are set in handmade eye sockets. Her nose is sculptured out of ultra-suede. Saphira's paws are sculptured out of black leather and are soft like a real cat's paws. Her head is jointed and her front legs have soft armatures enabling her to pose in many different positions. Saphira's back legs are loosely jointed so they can hang loose like a real cat's legs when she is lifted. She is stuffed with polyfil and has carefully placed bead socks to add weight in the right places and to give her a natural cat feel. ~ *I am shipping FREE USPS EXPRESS MAIL to any USA mainland buyer so that Saphira will be guaranteed to arrive by Christmas*

Saphira is now available on Bear Pile:
