Jack O’ Lantern Cat Doll
- A Kari Emerson design for Primitives by Kathy
American folk art is known for being artistically creative, if not imperfect! The Jack o’ Lantern Cat doll is a perfect example that imperfection makes perfection! The Jack o’ Lantern Cat doll is made from bits of fabric with jointed arms and stitching to create two different faces on the cat and pumpkin body. The tilt of the face on the pumpkin is made by looped stitching that’s not perfect, but it creates the quizzical look on its face and adds personality and charm. The legs are attached with an inward slant to, again, give it that hand made folk art feel. Because of the handmade quality, each one of the Jack o’ Lantern Cat Dolls is different and one of a kind. Sit him next to the the orange and black pumpkin heads for a warm Halloween display on a hearth, table or chair!
