I mentioned Australian toy artist Florence Forrest before. But I couldn’t help needing to mention her fabulous folk art toys. The beautiful Pimmie Parrots, inspired by mexican folk art and coastal birds which is a project uniting our imaginative lives to our environment.
More of Florences work can be found at the umbrella collective, the lil and tom project, and work in progress images can be seen at her flickr stream.
