Inspired by the ethereal work of artist Elaine Bradford — crafty little
coverings for taxidermy, which Bradford crochets by hand, then stitches
on section by section, sometimes altering her woodland creatures to have
illogically long necks or gangly, dangly feet — our girl weaves and
knits and crafts and spins a deliciously twisted tale about marvelous
mohair, nubby knits and woven wonders.
