Lucy Sparrow’s “8 ‘Till Late.”
Take a look at British artist Lucy Sparrow’s sensational project, “8 ‘Till Late,” at New York City’s the Standard/High Line: A convenience store with thousands of completely hand-made, felt products and every last one of them was for sale.
The project, which had to close early as the products sold out so quickly, is one of many by Lucy. You can learn and see so much more on her website.
Prehistoric Fantasy Beasts and Pumpkins Knitted Out Of Felt by Alena Bobrova
Alena Bobrova from Shyshyru creates wonderfully adorable and friendly felt creatures and pumpkins, heralding the autumn season with collection of green and earthy toned woollen toys. Petals, leaves and flowers picked from an imaginary mythical woodland are turned into the scales of dragons, dinosaurs and other fantasy beasts, complimenting their soft and colourful bodies which camouflage into nature.
Instead of presenting them as predatory beasts ravaging warriors in the fairytale world, Shyshyru weaves them as sweet and gentle stuffed animals that become a child’s best friend through the adventurous realm of art. Most of the collection of felt creatures are made as an evolutionary fusion of flora and fauna from an overactive imagination, but the resulting miniature figures display a comforting atmosphere in the haunting autumn season, with Halloween knocking at our doorstep. Find them in their Etsy shop.
