She wears a hand dyed red crepe paper skirt with a gold Dresden waistband. She is also embellished with three tiny red seed bead buttons, and carries a vintage flower pick. I have tea stained the kitty's body to give her an antique appearance, and completed her with a reproduction Victorian paper scrap cat face.
This spun cotton cat ornament is ready to hang from your Christmas feather tree, pegboard, Christmas tree, or wherever you imagine her. She is approximately 4 1/2" tall including the height of her flowers, and will come to you signed and dated.
Spun cotton is a craft that dates back to the late 1800s with origins in Germany. I enjoy keeping the tradition alive for fellow collectors of this unique art form.
