About Jordan Elise:
Jordan Elise Perme is the creator of Horrible Adorables; a collection of faux taxidermy mounts featuring strange creatures and wonderful wonders! Jordan dreams up the creatures from the most peculiar part of her imagination and then sculpts each one-of-a-kind Horrible Adorable from foam, wool felt, and eerily realistic glass eyes. In 2009 Jordan graduated with a BFA in Fiber and Material Studies from The Cleveland Institute of Art. With a passion for novelty repeat patterns and silly objects, she also works as a freelance toy and textile designer. Jordan has proudly designed for companies such as Little Tikes, Hasbro and JoAnn Fabrics.
