I started creating this motley crew of creatures some years back after I found myself with extremely limited space and a new life to fill with things that made me happy but cost next-to-nothing! Making creations from socks and other bits and bobs satisfies my creative and artistic need. My creatures have their own style, and often reflect a balance of light and shade, just like us humans they all have imperfection and asymmetry and express a unique character. They are born from a pile of chaos that is my stash of supplies, the socks all being new from different sources, some of the embellishments are upcycled. These art dolls demonstrate all the traditional skills of hand stitching, embroidery, knitting and french knitting, with charms and buttons hand sewn in place. They reflect a need for creativity in adults and are not children's toys. As they are decorative items they have not been safety tested; they are made from items as I find them, they are not designed for hugging or washing or chewing! They are intended for age 14 plus.
