Amy Morin (PlaiderPillar) makes plaid caterpillars. PlaiderPillar . . . Get it? Well, she makes other stuff too, like monsters that will devour you, birds that will peck you, and bags with oversized buckles that look maybe a little too dangerous. Using mostly fabrics, animal fur, and a taste for the meticulous, she creates things that simultaneously make you want to smile like a 5-year-old and throw up like an elderly person.
PlaiderPillar got her BS at the University of Nebraska at Lincoln in Textile and Apparel design. She designs inflatable mascot costumes by day, and spends her evenings fabricating creatures in her studio at Hot Shops Art Center.
Oh! You say you wanted a giant bouncy octopus to be your friend? Then, my friend, PlaiderPillar’s for you!
