I saw a gorgeous window display today at Petulia’s Folly {a clothing boutique} in Philly with lovely little birds, owls, as well as large sheep and moose heads all stitched and made by hand. Thanks to reader Melissa, I now know the name of the artist, Tamar Mogendorff, and can share her lovely work with you!
The dolls/objects are made from linens, wool, Mohair wool, cotton, vintage fabrics, tweed, antique embroidery, pashmina and other fabrics….
{UPDATE: I totally missed this! See Lena’s post about Tamar in October}
I would love to buy one of her pieces. Does anyone know any retail outlets or galleries that are selling her stuff? I can’t seem to see anything on her site about it.
hi melissa,
you can buy her pieces through her directly or through her reps for wholesale…check out this link..

while the works have a similar idea, i think both artists have a unique style to their pieces..and both are beautiful in their own way.

Very beautiful. Love the white peacock the best.
yes i’ve seen her work before…totally outside of the fabric box she is!!! love her work!
thanks for the link to my post joy!
i adore both lauri’s and tamar’s dolls.
They are absolutely beautiful, fantastic art pieces and soft textiles like an art gallery.
I ordered two swans from Tamar by contacting her directly. She was wonderful and the swans are so beautiful…love it too!
