stitched one at a time,
by hand.
each one
has a name
and a secret.
a small workshop in amsterdam

small creatures,
each with a story.

these are not toys. they are characters. each one is stitched by hand, given a name, and sent off into the world with one strange fact about themselves.

the maker — letter no. one

sofia, age twelve.

i make all the creatures myself, one at a time, at my desk by the window. when one finds a home, that one is gone forever. there are no copies.

each creature gets a name on the first day, and a fact i learn about them while i'm stitching. they tell me, mostly.
