Each piece is made using cotton, cotton batting, wire and has hand painted details.

These adorable creations are further decorated in clothing made with crepe paper and accessorized with new, vintage, and found materials including Dresden scraps, ribbons and trims, antique Czech glass beads and vintage paper. These one-of-a-kind pieces range from animals to people characters which will make a unique art piece for your home.
