Agustina Woodgate: Upcycled Stuffed Animals

Agustina Woodgate is the artist behind these stunning and one-of-a-kind rugs made of stuffed animal skins. I think it is an excellent use of discarded stuffed animals. I'm imagining the hours and hours going into deconstructing the stuffed animals. What a process. Check out more of her wide-ranging art projects here.

Handmade Holidays

This past Christmas I made all of my gifts which was alot of work and alot of fun. I made this stuffed mouse for one of my nieces. I think it turned out pretty nice considering this is the first mouse I've ever made. The grey is cashmere wool sweater scraps and the patterned accent is from upholstery swatch pieces that I got for dirt cheap. It was really cute to watch my niece kiss it on the nose over and over again.
