Jordan Elise: Horrible Adorables

Jordan Elise makes delightfully unique faux taxidermy creatures she calls Horrible Adorables.

I like her layered felt technique. Who would’ve thought to make animals out of multicolored felt, cut and positioned like scales? Now that’s imagination!

Some of the eyes are eerily real, which (in my opinion) is a great design element.

Wouldn’t one of these be excellent in a child’s bedroom? I wish I’d had a Horrible Adorable as a kid!

Lovely! They remind me very much of the visual style of Klaus Haapaniemi: https://www.google.fi/search?q=klaus+haapaniemi&es_sm=93&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=IbDjVIbqL4TXyQORxYGYBA&ved=0CAgQ_AUoAQ&biw=1366&bih=653

I was gonna say “Lovely!” too. But they remind me of butterfly wing scales
