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 greatly inspired by animals and the natural world, as well as fantasy movies. I love to combine the two and realize 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….

Meet my toy line, Cavey! Each Cavey is lovingly handmade by me in the A Little Stranger Studio. Caveys come in many breeds, each with their own unique personalities. Caveys love humans, but they’re very shy, so they disguise themselves as everyday objects so they can observe us. If you find one be sure to say “Hey Cavey!” because they just want to be friends!
