Our weekly featured shop: Morumoto!

Our weekly spotlight shop this week is Morumoto. She has had her shop on Etsy for a little over three years now. When you see her beautiful plushies, we just know you will want to "adopt" one! Mostly because they are so incredibly lifelike. Each little "critter" is posed in a cute little scenario for their photo, and there is a story behind each one. Here's alittle bit about Morumoto from her profile:

"Hi everyone! I'm Morumoto (Japanese for "guinea pig", in case anyone was curious). I've been drawing ever since I could remember and learned to sew at a young age. Creativity is something I cherish, and I just don't feel right if I'm not working on some sort of artistic or crafty endeavor.
I'm a traditional artist. All my artwork is hand-drawn, hand-inked, and colored by hand. I don't have anything against digital art (there are actually quite a few digital artists whose work i admire), I just prefer doing my art by traditional means, being able to feel every pencil line, every pen stroke, and every dab of color. I'm very fond of animals (especially canines and rodents) and creating an atmosphere through the use of
Although I picked up the needle and thread when I was young, making plushies is something I began doing somewhat recently. It began with my fondness for guinea pigs; simply put, I've only ever found so few cavy items such as figurines and plushies that I decided to make some of my own. I craft my plush critters carefully by hand, creating a life-like portrayal that captures the feel as well as the appearance of my subjects. My crafting endeavors have already turned towards other rodents, such as mice, rats, hamsters, and and I won't be satisfied until I have made a plushie of most if not all rodents. I'm constantly searching for more materials and ideas."

Please do check out her lovely shop. You will be amazed and will find yourself going "awww" for these lifelike plushies!

  1. Congrats Morumoto... You know I love your stuff. I have many I use as props for my items for pets.
    They truly are custom and mine look like pets we used to own down to the markings.
