Cotton Monsters! The Work of Jennifer Strunge

These are mostly friendly monsters, though you might have to watch out for a few of them.
Junk artist Jennifer Strunge uses recycled clothing and linens to make these soft sculptures by hand. There’s no pattern, so no two Cotton Monsters will ever be exactly the same.
There’s lots to discover on CottonMonster.com, including a Gallery Of Sold Monsters like Augustine to the right. Also check out the Photo Gallery where you’ll not only see monsters of all shapes, but a couple of adorable real monsters. (Jennifer’s cats.)
Are Cotton Monsters popular?
Yes! Jennifer makes all of them herself by hand, so right now she’s hard at work re-stocking her monster shop.

“I’m a sweet monster.”

These are amazing! More and more people seem to be recycling fabric these days like our grandmothers did!
