Mona Van der Velden

I live in the Orangeville area and am a textile artist who enjoys working with upcycled materials. I take old sweaters, blankets, and furs to create new products. It is always a joy to see outdated materials brought to life. One of my specialties is creating jointed teddy bears from anything from faux fur, a wedding dress or that fur coat that’s been hanging in the closet for years.
