ART: SHAUNA RICHARDSON

U.K.-based artist Shauna Richardson creates life-size, ultra-realistic animals using the medium of crochet. (She refers to her art as Crochetdermy.)

The Lioness.

A Jack-Rabbit.

A detail of the Brown Bear.

A mounted Fox.

The Monkey.

Richardson was chosen as one of a handful of artists to create works of art to be displayed around London during the 2012 Summer Olympics; her contribution will consist of three thirty-foot tall hand-crocheted lions, representing the East Highlands, home of Richard the Lionheart.
