# Needlepoint 10-Point Bucks ‘My Deer' Sculptures Are Made from Rescued Textiles By Cowbag | Published 2009-02-06 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oh-my-deer-scultpures-from-rescued-needlepoint References: [whokilledbambi](http://www.whokilledbambi.co.uk/?p=1442) & [frederiquemorrel](http://www.frederiquemorrel.com/main.html) The 'My Deer' collection of [deer sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fibredog) was inspired by Frederique Morrell's dismay that, after her grandmother's death, her [needlework](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-wren) was set to be tossed in the trash. To save them, she found alternative artistic uses for the pieces and the results are stunning. The range of deers (think Cow Parade with antlers) and trophy heads are stunning statement pieces. There are also more practical pieces such as [footstools, poufs and bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ark-collection). **Implications** - Incorporating nature into the home is something many urbanites take interest in. People are looking to incorporate natural imagery -- plants, animals, earthy tones -- into their every day lives. Businesses can find opportunities by incorporating naturalistic designs into their offerings and marketing campaigns. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.6/10 - Popularity: 23% | Activity: 17% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Life](https://www.trendhunter.com/life) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Nature-inspired Home Decor:** Businesses could disrupt the home decor industry by incorporating naturalistic designs into their offerings and marketing campaigns. - **Upcycled Textile Art:** An industry for upcycling textiles could disrupt the art world creating stunning and unique pieces while also being environmentally conscious. - **Sustainable Fashion Accessories:** An industry of sustainable fashion could be built around upcycling materials to create statement pieces of high quality and style. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Home Decor:** Nature-inspired designs could disrupt the home decor industry by providing a new perspective for designs. - **Textile Art:** Upcycling textiles could disrupt the art world by providing unique and eco-friendly sculpture pieces. - **Fashion Accessories:** Sustainable fashion could create a new industry for fashion lovers who wish to make a difference by using sustainable fashion accessories. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Almost-Extinct Animal Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fauna-series.md) - [Wilderness-Inspired Furniture Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/habitat-collection.md) - [Sculptural Knitted Objects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sculptural-knitted-objects.md) - [Sophisticated Upcycled Home Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/basket-sculptures.md) - [Stylish Oakwood Storage Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moose-cabinet.md) - [Sustainable Creative Craft Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fyrn-studio-series.md) - [Resin Hardware Revivals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/meta-hardware.md) - [Creature-Inspired Home Good Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/charles-jeffreys-loverboy.md) - [Mountain Atelope-Inspired Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jomo-tariku.md)
