When I got my hands on these vintage chenille bedspreads, I knew right away what I wanted to do with them. I really liked the idea of playing with texture & pattern in my plush critters. This particular floral bedspread made me think of my owl plush. Given that art imitates life & this was a bedspread that I was working with, I felt it appropriate to make my owl a bit sleepy. So meet Sleepy Olivia Owl…. (she’s Ollie Owl’s sister).
The other three chenille bedspreads seemed perfect for some fancy slugs & I made these for hutch studio. The textures are so fun to work with… I think I’m hooked. Did your grandma have a chenille bedspread? Or did you have one growing up?
