Amsterdam based nutritionist turned artist, Sabrina Somers amigurumi pieces are intricate and accurate works of art that speak volumes about the artists commitment to her craft.
-
For Sabrina Somers, the art of amigurumi was something she happened upon by accident and not design. Speaking exclusively to Home Review, the dietician nutritionist turned artist takes us through her journey of self-discovery through amigurumi and her love for the craft.
With its earliest origins in China and Japan, today amigurumi is known to be a predominantly Japanese art of creating creatures out of yarn creatures by knitting and/or crocheting. The term is a portmanteau of the Japanese words - ami which means knitted or crocheted, as well as nuigurumi that is a stuffed doll. In 2014, Sabrina was gifted a book on the art on her birthday by her partner. It was from this moment, that her life turned 180.
She quit her regular job in just a few months and decided to become a full-time designer.

Art Rovert
