Calico cat Alicia
120 AUD$
The peach fabric she’s made is so elastic, there is no end to what it can contain.
Her head keeps expanding, skin thins, revealing all the rubbish inside.
Her black pattern reminds her of dark clouds in the sky, they come and go.
Whenever she worries about worrying too much or too little, she rolls her eyes and reminds herself, I’m not my thoughts, I’m Alicia.

Product Description
Size
Alicia is 4-1/4″ or 12cm ear to toe, 4″ or 10cm sitting, 2-1/4″ or 5.5cm across the ears.
Materials
She is made of a thin peach spandex shrug, think black polyester fashion t-shirt, and a thick white cotton baby top.
She has uneven gradient green eyes made of new cotton thread and her tongue stuck out at all things uncool.
All filling is 100% recycled and zerowaste of odd and ends from making other beakies.
How it’s made
Beakies are entirely hand stitched using simple needle and thread. They are cut, filled, and then sculpted individually using thread tension. Each beakie is a unique response to the chosen materials.
The faces are embroidered free-hand, responding to the shape and texture of the sculpted fabric waste. No template is used, nor the same will follow. Each face is truly unique.
Play
Limbs swivel 360 degree for posing. They sit well on their bum.
When a beakie first arrives, nudge the bottom lightly into shape, and balance with tail on the flat ground.
They are slightly elastic, if you play with it much, it will mold to your touch and the expression may change. And it’s a good thing. Beakie grow with you.
Caution
Beakies are not toys for children. They may be strong but arms and tail may drop off if pulled hard enough.
Fire and choking hazard.
When carrying a beakie around, please always transport in provided sleeping bags to protect the stitches from abrasion.
