Teddy Bear Natural History :: Stephanie Metz

Everyone seems to do human skulls, so hats off to felted-wool artist Stephanie Metz for finding a unique point of view. Can you imagine a child taking apart their stuffed animal only to find this inside! Check out more on her site and don't miss her equally-warped overbred animal series. (She has more natural felted-wool work as well.) LINK

Hair Masks :: Crystl Rijkeboer

These masks do make me wonder if there is some sort of innate sense of discomfort that arises when seeing someone with their face completely covered. The fact that these masks are also made of hair doesn't help. But any art that makes you feel something is serving it's purpose. See them all and some other work at the artist's site. LINK
