If you follow Knithacker, you know that Hiné Mizushima is one of my favorite artists … she is a legend!

And this new soft sculpture is no exception, it’s a tick re-imagined as cute and cuddly:

Hiné Mizushima's Strawberry Tick ... The Only Tick I Could Ever Love ... It's Felted!

Strawberry Tick By Hiné Mizushima

I hate ticks but I love this! Made for a solo show in Tokyo, which sold out! Congrats, Hiné!
