Knitted deer trophies

Being a girl with a graffiti knitted heart I have fallen madly in love with these Domestic Trophies but the very talented artist Rachel Denny.

The trophies are "a playful take on traditional hunting and gathering for the hearth and home". The one of a kind pieces are deerhead-shaped polyurethane foam, steel and clay covered in shredded sweaters and other knitted goods and they are eerily lovely. Much of her recent work is fibre-based too so the whole site is well worth wandering through.

I particularly heart the Red Zipper Buck and the gorgeous Nordic Knit if anyone fancies buying a Crafty Crafty writer something nice for Christmas.

Yet another lesson in how knitting is no longer content to slouch at home on the sofa in front of the tv or hide in the world of horror that is Bridget Jones' Christmas Jumper fear.
