Abigail's Creatures

Coo Coo, I'm just a sucker for creatures with no heartbeat. Last time I bought a stuffed toy it was a furry donkey, and the eBay seller sent me the history of where it came from and why they loved it- it was all very special and intense.
At the Clerkenwell open studios I met textile artist Abigail Brown's little bird friends, and I am so in love with the flamingo. On the subject of flamingo's the charity-run shop Mama Biashara in Shepperd's Bush's West 12 Mall in London- they sell stunning painted straw flamingo's, its a shame their opening times are a mystery to me, and may a time i have stood outside on a Saturday hoping the shutter will go up (i recommend stalking this shop until it opens)... will take pictures and buy some next time I find it open!

I like their work, the pieces look really cool. Hopefully the store will be open next time I'm in London. Thanks for sharing this!
