I am absolutely amazed by these brilliantly bizarre crocheted fairytale animals and other funny toy figures knitted in cruel death scenes by Patricia Waller. Waller is a crochet artist and master of plush toys who lives and works in Berlin, Germany.
The vacuum cleaning elephant, the twin bears connected via their heads and the ostrich with its head stuck in the ground all have a rare sadness to them, while the unicorn and rabbit death scenarios are just downright bloody and cruel. Perhaps these plushies are not the best gift for your lovely little niece.
