Hawthorn the Adventurer Celadon Pearl

You see, Fiona grew up loving toys not because they were just fun to play with. But because they brought a smile to her face. Their creativity, stories, characters, and endless possibilities for exploration and adventure lit up her imagination. Fiona loves making people smile with her toy creations and illustrations. When she’s not trying to make people smile with her petite armored toy heroes and heroines, she enjoys spending her time baking sugary sweets. One day, she thought, “Why not put the two together?” Although she doesn’t make armored cake figures, she does like to combine her adventurous toy knights with old Kilner jars and pastry displays that bring to mind the feel good memories of candy shops, catching fireflies on warm summer days, and childhood playfulness and imagination. She enjoys capturing and sharing these sweet glimpses of her otherworldly adventurers/adventures with anyone who needs a little dose of playfulness injected back into their life. Fiona’s fantastical creations and designs have mostly been inspired by her deep love and appreciation for fantasy/sci-fi novels, JRR Tolkien, Ursula K. Le Guin, video games, Star Wars, and anything quirky or strange. Self-produced art toys are designer collectibles created and manufactured independently by the artist or small teams without the backing of a large toy company or mass-market brand. These toys are often highly personal, artistic expressions and are usually made in limited runs. Key Characteristics include independent creation where the artist is in control of the entire process from concept, sculpting, and painting to production and packaging. These are usually made in small batches, often 10–100 pieces, which adds to their rarity, made using materials like resin, sofubi (Japanese soft vinyl), or 3D-printed components.
