Here at Unison we have the great fortune of having an incredible craft talent on board, Hillery Sproatt. She has been using her hands to create some of the most intricate and finely made dolls and mobiles you have ever laid eyes upon. Our collaboration with Hillery started last summer with the idea of using scrap fabrics from our locally made pillow cases and napkins to inspire a mini line of cheerful dolls and animal mobiles. Each doll’s face, hair and details are all hand embroidered, as are the horse’s saddles on each mobile.
Even though Hillery is super busy as our domestic production coordinator, she still has time to work on her many projects. Right now she is starting work in weaving, miniatures that she can take with her on her commute – genius! Here’s a glimpse of a current piece, and more on her site.
