Kitschy Creatures

While working at the UCC I have noticed a number of kitschy creatures hiding out on bookshelves, adorning walls, holding down the couch and plain and simply just getting in the way sometimes.

Here are a few of my favorites:



This enormous felted owl was lovingly created by Rhea. He is balding in a few spots and some of his feathers are starting to fall off but I'm planning on giving him a makeover this afternoon.


Life must get pretty lonely for this little guy who lives in a bell jar on the top shelf




Small plastic animal figurines are awesome already, but when they are glitter-fied...they are THAT much better.


I have a real love-hate relationship with this grumpy catfish.



These little ladies are security guards for the valuable pile of white packaging envelopes behind them.

Felted Robot: He might not have any arms...but just look at that smile.


This felt whale is about as cute as they come

Wire spiders...not so scary

These felted mice multiply like real mice. I seem to find them everywhere.


The little guy on the right, I made him :)
