June 6 (UPI) -- An artist's pop-up convenience store in New York is selling all of the usual bodega offerings -- but all of them are stitched from felt.
Lucy Sparrow, 30, a British artist, raised $53,000 on Kickstarter and is now showing the felt fruits of her labor in the "8 'Till Late" installation at The Standard, High Line, a boutique hotel in Manhattan's Meatpacking District.
Sparrow, who previously displayed a similar project modeled after a grocery store in her home country, said it took her nine months and a team of 10 helpers to stitch the items for her new felt store, which features everything from felt cans of Coca-Cola to an entire deli counter stocked with felt meats.
The installation even features a felt bodega cat named Krampuss.
Everything in the store, Krampuss excluded, is for sale with prices ranging from $15 to thousands of dollars.
"I hope [the show] brings a difference accessibility to art," Sparrow told AM New York. "You don't need to pay to get in and you can buy a piece of art of $15."
