The Whimsical Creations of Saskia Wassing-Shepherd
Saskia's stuffed-animal creations are one-of-a-kind, personal explorations of patternmaking and embellishment.
Her largest and most recent creation is an indoor/outdoor total environment in the form of a pavilion-like tent, which can be packed up to fit into a small station wagon. The roof is square, and the multilayered curtain-walls can be arranged in various ways to provide varying degrees of privacy and openness. The central metal support for the roof incorporates a small fabric-covered table, surrounded by four rectangular floor cushions.
