Bunnies and Frogs are everywhere
Wednesday, September 23rd, 2009
One of the down-sides of the artwork being shipped from the artist’s studio to the art buyer is that we in the office seldom get to see the artwork. Thousands of great works of art on the website and most of them we never see. Until now…
We recently discovered Josh Title and his amazing Cate & Levi collection. Hand-crafted stuffed animals made from reclaimed materials. Adorable!
Josh is from Toronto and when he couldn’t find environmentally responsible toys for his child, he decided to make them himself. The bunny and frog are made from reclaimed wool materials like old sweaters. I like how Josh defines it as leaving “the softest possible pawprint on our planet.”
Because of the reclaimed materials, each one is unique in it’s coloration, stripe, and patterns. The bunnies are pink and the frogs are green, but beyond that each one has its own special markings. And Josh even labels each one as 1 of 1 because of the unique markings.
When we juried Josh’s work onto the Artful Home website, Josh decided to to send a shipment of bunnies and frogs here to Artful Home. So while we seldom actually see the works of the artists we represent, this time we are over-run with critters. Bunnies on tables, frogs on filing cabinets, high up on book shelves. It’s a lot of fun to turn around and see a cute stuffed animal staring at you.
