Whimsical soft sculpture figures lovingly handmade in Steampunk, fantasy, or historical fashion. Given life and their own story by local artisan, Stephanie Schneider
Do you have a favorite animal?
Looking for a special gift or a something new for your home? I create whimsical animal figures, steampunk characters, and other creations that are simply fun**. The goal is that each handmade critter brings a smile to your face, or creates joy for someone you love. These handmade whimsical soft sculptures portray beloved characters from books, fairy tales, and lively imaginations . Starting with flat pieces of felt and fabric, each character comes to life as a unique creation with a story to tell. These Award-Winning, Hand-Crafted, One-of-a-Kind Collectibles are ready to bring a touch of whimsy to your home, office, or business!
Take a look around at my full Characters or Desktop Portraits and see which character calls to you. Contact me for a virtual (or in-person) viewing to see more details or commission your own unique piece.
About these whimsical creations:
Each creation is unique and one-of-a-kind. Specifically, I keep the following in mind for every character:
- Sustainability: Materials are selected with care, making sure that each element is from a responsible company using the best resources and processes available. The use of plastics and glues is avoided.
- Collectible Quality: Every stitch on every creation is done with care and double-checked for accuracy and consistent quality. These figures are intended to last a lifetime, and all clothing and accessories are handcrafted by me. Please note that these animals are collectible characters, and not intended for use by children.
- Uniqueness and Creativity: Each character has a personal character and story represented in their looks, dress, and accessories. Repetition is boring, and you won’t find it here!
