Fun, boisterous, and just a little bit wacky, Jazzabella is a whimsical creature known as a katadile. She loves to run, play, and dance in the sun, and making her friends laugh is one of her favorite past-times. Even though she is goofy and silly, she has a good heart and has a lot of love to give.

She was so excited to finally come alive that she kept running circles around me in my back yard! She just didn't want to sit still!

Jazzabella was made on commission for a customer on Etsy - and she is one of my biggest dolls to-date! Her arms and legs are posable, and her tail is slightly posable to help her keep her balance.

She was created by forming a wire armature (skeleton), then covering it in a core of foam to give her a hugable, lovable shape. After that, I needle felted over the foam core with wool to make her soft and plush. Her eyes are made out of polymer clay and liquid poly-clay (to give them the sparkle of life), and her teeth are sculpted out of regular Sculpey.
