The other day, as we were strolling through the Kazimierz section of Krakow, we stumbled into the handmade consignment shop called the Maruna Galeria. Inside, there was a rather interesting soft plush installation by artist Paulina Poczęta.
According to the shopkeeper, the artist started out making little plush creatures from fabric scraps that would resemble her friends. Ultimately, she had quite the collection.
The photos above capture a few of my favorites from the installation, although the first was found via Maruna Galeria.
Maruna Galeria offers handmade jewelery, clothing, and other goods that are made from recycled materials. Consignment costs are pretty low at 5 zł (at the moment, roughly $2.25 USD) so most of the proceeds from the sale of an item will go to benefit the local artist.
