These stuffed animals are rescued from thrift stores and garage sales, disassembled, thoroughly cleaned, and reassembled, inside-out, by hand.
About the Artist
Spikey Cat is a division of Tenacious Goods by Novella VanderMei, daughter to Heather Hogan. Novella is a student at CK McClatchy High School in the Visual and Performing Arts Program. She invented this toy and selects each piece herself.
Heather makes statement art and unique upcycled goods for tenacious people. Mixing colors, shapes and mediums, Heather’s work is multi-layered. She creates in any medium at hand: paint, ink, oil pens, pencils, collage, assemblage, printmaking, waterslide decals and laser-cut shapes. She is inspired by tenacity, growth, community, and humor.
