Lana Crooks's "Herman, Duke of Ermine" Plush creation for Clutter Gallery show!

Wow! As we rapidly approach the opening of the previously announced plush and soft sculpture group show "Stitched," some truly amazing teasers are being revealed… Meet "Herman, Duke of Ermine," one of the contributions by the super talented Lana Crooks, who also happens to be guest curating the event. This completely handmade piece is 6” x 7” x 4” on it's lonesome, but it comes with a perfect display option of an Antique Wood Shelf (pictured) which adds roughly an inch to each dimension. The construction of this piece appears spot on, the pose giving a livelihood to the stationary piece that is just magnificent.

"Stitched," a group plush & soft sculpture show guest curated by Lana Crooks, will open on Saturday, April 13th with a reception from 6-9PM and be available for viewing through May 4th, 2013 at The Clutter Gallery, 163 Main St., Beacon, NY 12508.
