stuffed

here are some of toys that i have made in the last year.

Making toys has been a direct reflection of my world. The rabbit came from a drawing for Marta's, my eldest child's first birthday invitation. And the oat bags came from our huge stack of empty bags from a long winter of porridge for breakfast.

As we fill our days with picking up and packing away we also find ourselves in a world of cutting, pasting and pasting all those bits and pieces that never quite made it to the recycling. Its all about keeping it simple. Its about making mobiles from toilet rolls, crocodiles from egg cartons and elephants from oat bags.

These are beautiful toys!

Ohhhhh that duck is excellent! So nice and simple.

your toys are adorable! I love the simplicity and the aesthetic!

That little duck is so great. He would look great with a red and white swimming ring around his belly.
