Frequently Asked Questions
How Long does it take you to make a character?
In terms of hours, between 40 and 60 hours. It normally takes a month from start to finish — I am a home-based business and homes need tending ☺️! I will often come back to a character if I find unique materials to add, or realize that I can enhance their story.
What materials do you use?
I focus on natural fabrics – 100% wool, cotton, or silk. Accessories are generally handmade, including vintage buttons and findings. Some plastics are used in a limited fashion – flower embellishments for example. I purchase my materials from sources that use sustainable practices, and “buy local” whenever possible.
Are these really handmade?
I do every stitch in every character. Below you can see me putting spots on a giraffe and crafting a basket accessory. A rare accessory is purchased, and that will be noted in the description.
