For something a little different today, Holly Stanway of ‘A Little Stranger’ talks about her work, and of course we have some great examples to show you too! To find out more visit her portfolio, or contact her on twitter.

Hi i’m, Holly. By day I’m a plush designer and model maker living in London, UK, by night I go under my ‘A Little Stranger‘ alias, working on a variety of projects. I’m inspired greatly by animals and the natural world, as well as fantasy movies. I love to combine the two and realise cute and fantastical new creatures in painting and plush.

I’ve been sewing, painting and generally doing things with my hands for as long as I can remember and decided very early on to make it my career. While at university studying foundation and art and model making I started to create plush toys as gifts for friends and eventually started selling them online. I now run my own webshop where I’m now proud to be selling both my own work and that of other independent artists.

When im not making things I love toys, guinea pigs, over-the-top shoes, drum and bass, running, knitting, horror movies, and organising fabric into neat little piles.
