✨Handmade Anakin Amigurumi Doll✨
I had the incredible honor of gifting this Anakin doll to Hayden Christensen when I met him for an autograph during LA Comic Con! 🎉 He gets a lot of gifts, so it meant the world to me when he smiled and said, ‘I really like this!’ ❤️ As an artist, moments like these make it all worthwhile. 🖤 #StarWars #HaydenChristensen #AmigurumiArt #HandmadeGifts #FandomLove #AnakinSkywalker #CrochetArt taken in Los Angeles Convention Center by @yunaleskx

Had the incredible honor of gifting my handmade Sasuke Uchiha amigurumi to none other than Yuri Lowenthal—the voice of Sasuke himself—at Anime Las Vegas! 🥹🖤 Meeting him and having my Sasuke Nendoroid signed was already a dream, but hearing how much he loved the amigurumi (and that he’ll display it in his office!) truly meant the world to me 💜 Moments like these make all the time and artistry so worth it. Thank you, Yuri, for bringing Sasuke to life—and for making this artist feel so seen! 🍃🧶✨

A little repost with updated artwork 🌸✨

A little piece of Eiridûn is finding its way into our world.

Meet Kuuku, one of the small beings from Tales of Eiridûn 🌿

Kuuku appear where emotions settle gently rather than surge. They can often be found in quiet meadows, along riverbanks, and in open fields where the world feels still.

Unlike other beings of Eiridûn, Kuuku do not seek purpose. They simply drift, gather, and linger—soft echoes of moments that ask for nothing.

“If you see a Kuuku, stay a while.” 🌸

I’m so excited to finally introduce one of the first little inhabitants of a world I’ve been quietly bringing to life through my art.

And even more excited that these little beings will be making their debut at CollectedCon Brooklyn! 💕

📍 Industry City, Brooklyn, NYC
🗓 October 17, 2026

Come meet Kuuku and discover a little piece of Eiridûn. ✨

I was so busy during all three days of FanX that I completely forgot to take a before-and-after picture of my booth 😂 I’m back in Vegas now—exhausted, but with such a full heart. ♥️

Thank you to everyone who stopped by, said hi, took pictures of our art, chatted and interacted with us, grabbed a business card, followed us on social media, or simply helped spread the word about what we do. Every little interaction meant more to me than you probably realized. 💕

And to everyone who decided to take home a piece (or a few!) of our art—thank you. Thank you for continuing to give me reasons to believe in what I create, and for reminding me that there are people out there who connect with my work enough to make a little piece of it their own. ♥️

My art keeps me sane in a world that often times feel like it wasn’t built for me. So having people appreciate these little expressions of my emotions, the things I love, and the way I see the world means more than I can put into words. It truly—and quite literally—keeps me going. 💕

And a very special shoutout to my best friend, Josie. Thank you for doing this convention with me, for surviving the chaos alongside me, and for being there through all of it. 😂💕 We somehow unofficially became sisters over the weekend, and I couldn’t be happier about it. 🥰

Thank you, FanX. Until next time. ♥️ by @yunaleskx

Was so busy today for day 1 of FanX that I forgot to post a video of my booth! 😅 It’s only the first day, but I already got so much love! 💕 Thank you so much to everyone who has stopped by and bought something from us! We’ll be back tomorrow with more amigurumis, soft sculptures, 3D portraits, and everything else! We’re in Artist Alley 952-954! ♥️

Accidental Chronicles of the Nimvorai: The Creator Has ADHD, Vol. I 😂🌿

Tonight’s goal was simple: make a small dragon for FanX.

A quick dragon.

Then I decided it needed new claws.
Then obviously it needed new horns.
Then the horn needed to look more organic. Maybe a little ancient. Maybe like twisted wood…

And somewhere along the way I looked at my screen and realized—

…I made Lililu’s horn.

I was not working on Lililu.
Lililu was not on tonight’s schedule.
Apparently Lililu disagreed. 😂

Lililu is one of the Nimvorai of Tales of Eiridûn—a Swefnwyr chosen by Nyra to walk the threads of Aetheris. Her design has always been deeply tied to roots, branches, and the old growth of Calythea, so the moment this horn started looking less like a dragon horn and more like something that had grown rather than been formed… welp. There she was. 🌿

Anyway, the dragon still does not have a horn.

10/10 productive evening. No notes. 😂

Sometimes I design Eiridûn. Sometimes Eiridûn apparently designs itself.

Something from Calythea is taking shape.

The Nimvorai have worn their masks for centuries.
I think it’s finally time you met them.

🎃 Trick or treat… give me something good to eat. 🍭

Little Sam is ready to make sure everyone follows the rules of Halloween. 🍂🖤

I had way too much fun making this tiny menace — from his little button eyes to his stitched-up burlap mask and teeny orange pajamas. 🥹 He may be only a few inches tall, but I’m pretty sure he will still judge you for blowing out a jack-o’-lantern before midnight. 😂

Handmade by me 🧶✨ Pattern test for the amazing @knottingkreations ♥️ Pattern is out now!! 🥰

Always check your candy. Always respect the dead. And never, ever blow out a jack-o’-lantern before midnight. 🎃

Some stories begin with “once upon a time”…

Others begin with a phone call. 📞

Deep within the woods, there sits an old forgotten well. And if you listen closely enough, you might hear something climbing out of the darkness… 👀

Don’t worry though. This little visitor is much smaller than the legend makes her seem. 🤭🖤

🕳️ Sadako pattern test 🕸️

I recently tested this adorable little pattern for @knottingkreations, and I couldn’t resist giving her a tiny spooky home of her own. She’s officially the first member of what might become a very tiny (and slightly cursed) horror collection. 😂🖤

Just don’t answer the phone in seven days. ☎️👀 by @yunaleskx

I think one of my biggest problems with social media in general is… I either forget to take pics/vids of what I’m making, or, if I do remember, I forget to post them 😂

Here’s a perfectly good example of that 😂 My ultra chibi, mini Mimikyu 🥰 Mimikyu’s just one of those characters I have to keep making bec I always get all these ideas about them 💕 he’s not cute in the general sense, and he’s definitely dark, but you can’t help but love him anyway ♥️
