Girl Savage

Kate is a Chicago based artist who has created the only kind of taxidermy I can get behind... Feltidermy! A very clever and cute idea indeed! Her little creatures look happy to be on the wall, whereas most mounted animal heads I’ve seen look kind of scared and/or scary... I have relatives In Alberta, Canada who are hunters and have a taxidermy workshop. Trust me, it’s not a pretty sight!
I love this quote from her Etsy profile... “Hand stitching allows me to connect and bond with my work and makes me feel as if I'm molding and breathing life into my animals while I'm creating. Kinda like Geppetto!”
Well, Pinnochio happens to be one of my all time favourite Disney films, and Kate definitely makes her little guys with love! Each one is one of a kind and made by her, and her alone.

This is the most amazing use of pencils I've ever seen. I love it when I find something where I go, "How on earth did they do that?" The pencil urchins are just about the coolest things I've ever seen! She also makes pendants and BUGS!To see more cool pencil art, check out I bought one of her ACEO's. All I can say is WOW!
