Ikuko linocut giraffe

Ikuko the giraffe is quite the sophisticate. She is an ardent follower of high-fashion, but has a style all her own. She has her pilot's license and has traveled the world. Nonetheless, she's pretty down to earth. Her friends call her Coco. In her spare time, she secretly builds robots in the basement.

 

Ikuko is an original lino block print giraffe in brown textile ink on plum-coloured cotton fabric. The backside is a patchwork of Japanese-inspired quilting fabric and slightly stretchy denim. She is embellished with a collection of vintage buttons. She is stuffed with cotton/poly stuffing.

 

This is the printed front.
