Tamar Mogendorff

Recognized for her original stitch creations, Tamar Mogendorff is an artist and designer residing in Brooklyn, New York. Tamar’s one-of-a-kind "soft sculptures" have inspired fantasy narratives for children and an aesthetic appreciation for adults.

"Using thousand and thousand of fabrics and threads to create her ideas in her Brooklyn workshop, Tamar Mogendorff's world is populated with swans, bears and mushrooms carefully made by her fairy fingers. The originality of her creations is in the choice and assembly of the fabrics from gaudy to the precious, the subtle or solid."


I first found Tamar Mogendorff's work at college whilst researching artists for a project which was 'natural ornamentation'.

I love the printed fabrics used on these bird houses and how she has used sequins to embellish the birds, i feel it gives them another decorative element.
