Our Furry Friends
03/14/2011 @ 8:11 pm
During this very cold and snowy winter we are all reminded of our furry friends. While we humans think that the weather is totally miserable just think about having to forage through ice and snow for food. My newest furry friends have come from an unlikely source known as Kevin O’Brien Studio that I recently discovered at the New York International Gift Fair. One look at these cuties and you’ll be smitten to take one home.
These little guys are one of a kind, hand made stuffed animals. Because they are one of a kind, colors and materials will vary. You may request your preference when ordering and Kevin & Co. will do their best to accommodate you.
These one of a kind furry friends are the result of a collaboration between textile design Kevin O’Brien, and a plush animal designer in New Jersey. Fabric scraps, many hand painted AND hand printed are left over from other production then cut and pieced into stuffed animals.
“This is one of the best types of resource preservation - a toy that starts kids early on the concept of non-waste and the realization that our resources are not limitless.” Each of these unique creations comes to life through the use of recycled materials, including woven jacquard patterns, printed cotton velvets, silk velvets, printed linens and antique buttons (not recommended for children under 3 years of age); spot clean only.
