Entryway Heart Felt
Copake-based artist Jocelyn Gayle Krodman fashions needle-felted finger puppets that span the animal kingdom. Her handsome playthings are inspired by wildlife and farm animals, such as lambs and hens that she spots around the rural areas of her hometown, as well as more exotic creatures, such as giraffes. The understated, hand-dyed soft toys measure up to 11 inches high and make for sweet, not saccharine, baby gifts.
