Poofy Dove

Obadiah the owl, original soft sculpture
"I just recently graduated from Miami University in Ohio, with a BFA in painting and printmaking. I love making art, sewing, and being outside. My shop PoofyDove was created as a place to share my whimsical creations. I really love to expand my creative energy over a wide range of materials, so you will see a large range of products offered in my store! I gain my inspiration from a lot of different sources. If I had to choose one thing that has the greatest impact on my art it would have to be God's creation, the natural world around us. I believe that the purest and most profound beauty can be found there. If there is something that you don't see in my store, I would love to do any custom orders and commissions you may have. Also, if you have any questions for me at all I would love to hear from you!"

Wrap Up With A Good Book Scarf: A Tale of Two Cities
"I love to draw, read, and create. My goal in life is to combine all three as much as possible. My educational background comes from studying fine art in South Carolina and then in New York City where I received a BFA in Fashion Design. I try to exercise my creativity in my drawings and illustrations, in addition to apparel design and fabric crafts. I'm also a very part time yoga teacher and am thankful for how it helps me stay calm."

Your own Valentine Card (textile collage)
"My real name is Norma Andreu and I´m from Mexico City now living in Montreal. I'm very happy you've decided to visit. I'm a painter and an illustrator and more recently a textile artist!!! who loves children's books, everything you see here is hand made by me and I hope you like it!
CLOTH DOLLS:
Every doll is made by me with my sewing machine and with some hand embroidery, I have different ones: UOMI’s, Grumpies, Cluns, Magical Creatures and the No one’s children. For the first three I made a pattern so even if each one of them is a one of a kind because of the fabrics, colors and dress code, they all look the same shape. In the case of the No one’s children and Magical Creatures they are all a unique piece because I have no pattern and the faces and dresses are made out with a combination of free motion stitching and my imagination, they are like children illustrations alive!!! I draw the faces with the threads in the moment and I choose the fabrics, buttons and shapes in the very moment I’m doing it!!!! They are just unique!!!!"
