Stack-a-Cats is the result of my collaboration with educators to impart learning in a subtle way. I created Nine Cats and Three Balls of Yarn that nest together in endless combinations. In this way, each shape creates timeless play. As soon as I had worked through the shape, I had to find the best animal to match it.

9 Cats, 3 Yarn Balls & a Cotton Gift Bag

Hand-chiseled from birch wood on an electric lathe, each face is screened on me, using infant-safe water-based paint. Each doll is unique and safe for little hands. I design each animal cape in my Glen Rock studio and work with women artisans in Nepal to help me hand-stitch each cape. I use sustainably-harvested trees from Maine; when one tree is used, two are planted. Our team includes zooModern-trained craftswomen, from Nepal to Glen Rock, with each doll carefully hand-carved and hand-stitched from start to finish.  I created the construction of the gift box and illustrated the outside.
