Photo by The Fox in the Attic My name is Michelle Kreussel. I make hand-embroidered soft toy animals, cushions and printed tote bags. I live in West London, United Kingdom, and my shop is called The Fox in the Attic . From an early age my mother encouraged me to draw and paint. Later, I studied graphic design but I always knew I wanted to work for myself. One day, on a whim, I decided to buy a sewing machine and make soft toys. My grandmother taught me embroidery when I was little, and it all came back to me very quickly. I still love the challenges it presents and am constantly learning and evolving. My inspirations come from all over the place. I love going to exhibitions, and luckily we live in London so there are many museums and galleries to visit.
