A beautiful and haunting Etsy find: Lemmikkiapina. Paulina makes the most astounding sculptured animals that have an incredible emotional depth. There is a sense of stoical burden and quiet melancholy to these creatures, which are lovingly hand-stitched and assembled with collected materials, old lace and buttons. New additions to the shop sell very quickly but custom orders are accepted. Find out more about the artist in this interview on enhabiten blog.
These are too beautiful for words; maybe a nice gift for my friend Kaz who lost her puppydog just after christmas... thanks for sharing! Oh, and Happy New Year!
Happy New Year to you too. So sorry to hear about your friend's puppy though, so sad :(
I love this work too!
