I make creatures with backstories. Dragons with shy expressions. Elves with tiny boots. Unicorns that look like they stepped out of a bedtime story.

The body is just the beginning. The real fun starts after. I spend an unreasonable amount of time styling yarn hair, brushing it out, trimming it, curling it around my fingers to get the shape right. Then come the outfits. Little dresses. Capes. Miniature belts that take longer than the torso did. I lose track of time adjusting tiny details until everything feels right. For me, amigurumi isn’t just a plush. It’s a character waiting to exist.
