Handmade by Haley

Crochet, beadwork,
and a great many round bottoms.

Haley makes all of it herself, in small runs, in a room that is now mostly yarn. Nothing is repeated exactly. The creatures are collectible; the chandeliers take a week of evenings.

Plate i — the current six. Eleven creatures have existed so far; five are retired and won't be made again.

The collectible line

chunks

Crochet creatures with big squishy bottoms and very small ambitions. Each is catalogued, numbered, and sent out with a tag.

iEvery creature is crocheted individually, so no two sit the same way.
iiThe code on its tag belongs to that one creature — nothing else shares it.
iiiScanning it in the app activates them, and tracks what you've collected.

The stock list

Crafts ready for a new home.

Counts are live. When a number reaches zero the piece stays listed, because it usually comes back.

Made to order

One bead at a time, on brass wire.

Each strand is measured, threaded and knotted by hand so the finished piece hangs level. Colorways are yours to choose — most people send a photograph of the room and let Haley pick from there.

Everything here is mirrored on Etsy. If you'd rather use their checkout, reviews and buyer protection, it's the same pieces and the same maker — only the postage differs.

Looking after crochet

Hand wash cool, squeeze rather than wring, dry flat out of the sun. Chunks are polyfill-stuffed and re-fluff once dry.

Shipping

Ready pieces post in 3–5 days. Made-to-order takes 2–3 weeks and you get a photo before it's packed.

Safety

Chunks have embroidered eyes, not plastic ones, so they're safe from birth. Remove the tag and cord before play.

Commissions

Color changes, name tags, a chandelier sized to a ceiling. Send a photo and rough measurements for a quote.
