These Adorable Alpaca Dolls Carry Beautiful Blooms on Their Backs

Soft sculpture by Cat Rabbit

In Cat Rab­bit’s world, fuzzy alpacas are paired with beau­ti­ful blooms, fruits, and veg­eta­bles. The Mel­bourne-based mak­er, known for her small soft sculp­tures, cre­at­ed a very lim­it­ed edi­tion series apt­ly called Alpaca Planter in which the pos­able crea­tures have Lib­er­ty print cot­ton blan­kets draped over them and box­es, bowls, and pots that are pre­car­i­ous­ly bal­anced on their backs. The 10 alpacas are incred­i­ble in their atten­tion to adorable details from their fuzzy faces to all the dif­fer­ent plants they have in tow.

Each alpaca is unique but built the same. Cat is a doll mak­er at heart and placed arma­ture wire in their limbs to allow for dif­fer­ent pos­es like run­ning, walk­ing, or kneel­ing. Of one of her pieces, she writes, “This alpaca has many moods and the bendi­ness to accom­mo­date them all!”

As you might imag­ine, these crea­tures sold quick­ly once released. If you’d like to know about Cat’s future projects (and snag your own adorable cre­ation), sign up for her mail­ing list.
