calico_01.JPGHello!  :hug:  :hug:  :hug:   I'm excited to share my newest creation!  She is a large recycled mink calico cat with lots of detail: open/close hand painted eyes, movable mouth with top & bottom teeth, full armature, an squishy fat tummy (by request of her new mommy) and moveable toes with claws. 

If anyone is interested in commissioning a life size, life like cat from me, please email me for details.  I've thought about doing one for ebay, but they take so much time and energy to create, that so far I've only done kittens for ebay.

Thank you for taking a peek at her!  :rose:

Thank you so much Gail and Karen!   :hug:  :hug:   bear_flower  bear_flower  You're right Karen, it is sooooo much work!  At the moment, I'm only asking $1600.  It should probably be more, but with the economy the way it is, I'll wait a bit before charging more for these commissions.
