Narrator: This artist creates humanlike cat dolls. Rachel Brown makes them by hand for her shop, Tender Being. She starts by pouring porcelain casting slip into molds. Then she cures and cleans the pieces. Rachel covers the doll in textile to give it a soft texture...And paints over it with acrylic paint. She paints pupils onto glass beads to create the eyes. And she uses real cat whiskers that have naturally shed off of her pet cats. The dolls are ball-jointed, so they can move freely. It takes her a month to make one doll.
