I used to draw and create just for the joy of making something unique for that special person
I came to realize that I was losing the sentiments of giving and sharing things that I made
I decided to recreate my personal moments by making plush stuffed toys
This was made just for you
Placed around the city to be picked up by anyone
The look of these toys is derived from a doodle I used to make during my childhood
I wanted to help people connect with their inner child —regardless of their age— through the experience of interacting with a hand-made toy
When I was a child, my favorite pastime was to make things for the people around me. I would draw and create just for the joy of making something unique for that special person. As I grew older, I came to realize that I was losing the sentiments of giving and sharing things that I made with those who appreciate uniqueness. This prompted me to recreate my personal moments by making plush stuffed toys. I wanted to help people connect with their inner child —regardless of their age— through the experience of interacting with a hand-made toy. I chose various colors of felt to begin hand-crafting ‘HOMELESS CREATURES.’ The look of these toys is derived from a doodle I used to make during my childhood. These toys will be placed around the city to be picked up by anyone. My hope is to create a moment of connection between myself and the finder of the toy. By this, I intend to initiate memorable personal stories and an opportunity to reconnect with childhood memories.
