Mister Finch - Textile Artist From a Fairytale World

Mister Finch needs no introduction, his work has been featured on many online magazines and blogs. I wrote a post on his amazing textile creatures a while ago and ever since then I've become (like many of you) an admirer of his work. When I recently visited his website for some eye candy, I came across some of his new 'fairytale creatures' constructed using recycled materials with the same unmatched intricate detailing we all recognize in his work.

"It’s a joy to hunt for things for my work…the lost, found and forgotten all have places in what I make. Most of my pieces use recycled materials, not only as an ethical statement, but I believe they add more authenticity and charm. A story sewn in, woven in."

Take a look at his portfolio for his creations and for updates on his new work, you can follow him on Facebook.
