Made by Maike

Netherlands fiber artist Maike van Wijk creates the most adorable felted critters. As soon as I saw the little guy above, I knew I had to share! All of her creatures start out as an idea in her head, then a quick sketch in her sketchbook. Maike has a condition know as pareidolie, which means that she sees faces in everyday objects. I think that gives her a great edge when creating her pieces.

You can see all of Maike van Wijk’s darling creatures on her website, on Instagram and Facebook, and in her Creepy and Cute Etsy shop.

    How adorable! I think the placement of the eyes makes them extra cutely quirky.
