Box of Recycled Cuteness

Recycled fabrics made into crafty animalsLast weekend I took Quail By Mail to the Dartmouth Regatta 2008 Craft Pavillion. I took along the attention-grabbing Animal Brooches and Teddy Friends in addition to the best selling organic and fairtrade clothing. I sold a bit of everything really and the animals certainly pulled in the crowds too. With rabbits, cats, dogs and bear brooches to choose from it was interesting to see how cat lovers are totally separate from dog lovers and all colours of animals were loved and or appreciated. Handmade in London by Were Rabbit for Quail, I have certainly found a market for the animals. I have a massive new supply of animals now which are currently sitting in a huge box on the studio floor. Cuteable recently mentioned the animals on her hugely successful blog.

Those are very cute animals. I'm guessing you made them from reclaimed fabric.

All animals are made from fabric scraps and offcuts from the rag trade in London.
