Recycled Plush Dolls and Monsters

green — Thu, 07 Oct 2010 03:55:16 +0000

I am totally hooked on finding artists who are making plush dolls or monsters out of recycled materials so I just LOVE Tracyville! Tracyville is Tracy Viverretta, a Portland OR artist who’s tagline is: nature conscious, recycled induced, handmade fortified. In addition to her wonderful 3d pieces, she is a beautiful illustrator embracing the recycled paper she draws upon.

Check out her plush toys on this blog: http://traceomatic.blogspot.com/, lots of artwork on this blog: http://tracyville.blogspot.com/ and her work is for sale on Zibbet (an Etsy clone) at http://www.zibbet.com/tracyvart More stuff on: Flickr and Facebook
