Textile Taxidermy

"Combining crochet and knit with antique and reclaimed materials, these elements are then transformed into vibrant and dramatic sculpture that elevate traditional craft materials and naïve techniques to the realms of contemporary fine art" - the work of UK designer Donya Coward who works in embellished textile taxidermy.
I've never really been a fan of taxidermy, it tends to creep me out (as i'm sure it does most people). But these artworks on the other hand...I could very easily live with one of these in my home.
