Hey, if the sculptor took the time to sculpt it, it would be rude not to paint it.

Exactamundo. (At least the cat doesn't have clinkers/dags to colour in). Also, I bet she calls the count 'poppet' out of earshot (which is also another name for a Voodoo doll)

That's disturbing. My wife and I call our daughter poppet.
Though we also call her Stink, so maybe it's no biggy.

I've always known poppet to just be a little doll, not specifically having arcane connotations (although sometimes also used for witchy things along with moment). It's definitely a term of endearment around here.

Yep, an endearing term, my missus calls me it sarcastically But 'poppet' origins are witchcraft dolls I believe (for spells, magical supplication etc). Her family are from a village by Pendle hill, East Lancs so she should know..

Got to be wary of that Pendle lot 🤣 I've never known mommet (curse the auto correct in my earlier post) not to have witchy connotations, unlike poppet that can be both mundane or arcane.
