Here is my new mohair kitty, Kat with Duk. Kat is 7 1/2″ tall and has a 4″ needle-felted wool companion Duk, a runner duck. Kat is made of distressed German mohair and has glass eyes that I hand-painted. She has armatures in her arms and tail, and can stand on her own by balancing with her tail. Her arms can bend to hold Duk.
Kat’s companion, Duk, has onyx bead eyes and hand shading. He is wearing a green silk neck ribbon.
Kat with Duk is available in my Etsy shop.
Awwww – she is so cute in her little red dress.
Great pair Ellen. Love that little duk too.

Cute kitty! I love her toe shoes! Looks like she’s dancing.
Oh she is adorable! And so is Duk! I love the headband

Hi Tina, Barb, and Sliloh!
Thank you so much for the kind words and for coming to visit.
Hi Ellen, that’s a charming pair! I really like that your Kat has her own smaller Duk to hold, and armatures built so she can! Very nice
I don’t understand how you assemble an armature to be padded and covered without real binding-up problems. More power to ya! I like the detail of having the stamens in place in the flower of the headband,too.
I googled “needle-felting” and bookmarked a video to go see what it is, after a restart necessary for my video to work. I keep needing to look things up when I get a chance to go read blogs, that can’t be right!
Very cute set; makes me smile to look ‘em over.
Cheers,
pete
