Inspired By Nature, I Upcycle Faux Fur Fabric By Sewing It Into Realistic-Looking Animals
I’m Rachel Austin, a textile artist from The Forest of Dean in Gloucestershire.
Greatly inspired by nature and my beautiful surroundings, I love the challenge of working out how to cut fabric pieces, which when sewn together and stuffed, form realistic-looking animals. I mainly use unwanted faux fur fabric and hand sew it into tactile pieces of art. So far I’ve created animals from little birds to life-size badgers! I hope you enjoy seeing them as much as I enjoy making them.
If you would like to know more, pop over to my Facebook or Instagram.
Thank you for reading!
