Durwin is a handmade miniature original, one-of-a-kind striped monster art doll figurine, hand painted and hand sculpted in paperclay by artist Elizabeth Ruffing.

Durwin has one blue eye and a pleasant little smile that never leaves his face. Although he’s a real monster, he wouldn’t want to frighten anybody in his neighborhood. He has dozens of friends who leave him special monster treats that they order from monstertreats.com especially for him.

Durwin is striped in blue, pale turquoise, white, and cinnamon, and has a red heart. His golden horns are always visible, even in dim light, as he waits quietly in the backyard for his treats.

Durwin is a handmade miniature original one-of-a-kind art doll figurine. I hand sculpted him from paperclay over wood, in multiple stages, to allow for drying and detailing. I painted him by hand, under a magnifying light, with tiny brushes, using acrylic paints. Durwin is signed and sealed with gloss varnish for protection and preservation.

He is a work of art meant for display only, and not for play. I am including a certificate of authenticity with him.

Durwin is 3 and 1/8 inches tall.

Durwin is available for $59.99.

Durwin’s grape colored polka-dotted friend is Lindy (already adopted).

Nell is a handmade miniature original, one-of-a-kind red kitty cat art doll figurine, hand painted and hand sculpted in paperclay by artist Elizabeth Ruffing.

Nell is a country red and well-fed feline. She flounces about wearing her gauzy white scarf, which is covered in yellow polka dots. It is tied in a big bow around around her neck. She might be a little chubby, because she never refuses a snack. “No” is not in her vocabulary when it comes to anything delicious. Besides, who would think to deprive her of anything? That may be because everyone knows Nell has a big voice that she uses to approve or disapprove. She will proudly demonstrate it for you.

Nell has big gold eyes with green centers, and a contented kitty smile.

“Catherine and Chester” is a handmade original, one-of-a-kind anthropomorphic cat art doll figurine, hand painted and hand sculpted in paperclay by artist Max Bailey.

Catherine is an orange tabby Maine Coon cat, who looks a bit bewildered by motherhood.

Catherine knows she needs at least one extra set of paws to keep up with her kitten. Little Chester seems to go in nine different directions all at once.

Catherine made a kitty bag for Chester, a blue polka dot one with a long strap that goes around her neck. Still, she has to keep one paw on the bag.

Chester is so enthusiastic, he wiggles and mews at everyone and everything he sees.

“Mama, why do I have to stay in my kitty bag while we’re traveling?” Chester asks.

Catherine answers, “So I can see the top of your pretty little head.” When he asks again, she says, “So I can count your little white whiskers to make sure none of them are missing.”

Catherine takes Chester to the park. She takes him shopping. She takes him visiting. And, at the end of the day, she takes him home.

When he yawns, she puts him to bed, and Chester always says, “Good night, Mama. I had fun today.”

“Me too.” Catherine answers. She sighs happily, and falls asleep in her chair.

“Catherine and Chester” is an original one-of-a-kind work of art, meant for display only. No molds are ever used in my work. Catherine, Chester, and Chester’s kitty bag are hand-sculpted from paperclay, and are entirely hand-painted with acrylic paints.

Catherine wears a river blue dress with a jade green collar, cuffs, and sash tied in a big bow at the back. Pale blue flowers with jade green leaves decorate the sleeves and flow around the bottom of the skirt. Her striped orange tail emerges from her white petticoats. Catherine and Chester have whiskers made from stiffened cotton thread.

Catherine is signed and dated, and sealed with matte varnish for protection and preservation. She rests firmly on a turned wooden base that is stained and sealed in golden oak.

Catherine is 9 and 1/4 inches tall. “Catherine and Chester” comes with a certificate of authenticity.

“Catherine and Chester” the original one-of-a-kind Maine Coon cat art doll figurine is available for $425.00, with free Priority Mail, insured, shipping within the United States. Please inquire to ruffings@ovi.7f0.myftpupload.com

Chester’s big sister is Sunflower the Ginger Tabby Kitten, original one-of-a-kind cat art doll figurine.

Maisie Maybunny is a handmade miniature original, one-of-a-kind rabbit art doll figurine, hand painted and hand sculpted in paperclay by artist Elizabeth Ruffing.

Maisie Maybunny is a mauve-pink bunny with big blue eyes. She has a painted garland of pink, yellow, and blue flowers that goes all around her body.

Maisie Maybunny is a carefree soul. She likes to go hopping through garden beds, whether the sun is shining, or the rain is coming down.

After Maisie has hopped for a while, she finds a nice dry spot, flops on her side, and takes a long, long nap.

When she wakes up, she yawns, and rolls over in the flowers, wrapping them all around her.

Then she hops home for her evening salad, which she decorates with tiny blossoms.

Maisie Maybunny is a one-of-a-kind work of art, and is meant for display only, not for play.

She was sculpted from paperclay over wood, in multiple stages, to allow for drying and detailing. Paperclay has a hardness similar to soft wood.

Maisie was painted under a magnifying light, with tiny brushes, using acrylic paints.

She is signed, and sealed with gloss varnish for protection and preservation. She comes with a certificate of authenticity.

Maisie Maybunny is 3 and 1/8 inches (8 centimeters) tall.

Please click here to go to Maisie Maybunny’s adoption page. Maisie’s bunny friends are Jeanina Jingles and Buttons Bunnyton.
