Tree Spirit Custom #15

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. Team Muju AKA Miss Muju & Mr Muju - are currently based in the coastal town of St Ives in Cornwall,England. Miss Muju works in 3D with cast resin, felt & textiles, creating Muju sculptures, while Mr Muju works in painting & printmaking. The two artists have been working together since 2004, exploring a shared creative vision of Mujuworld.
