Born in Japan, Mizushima majored in Japanese traditional painting before working as a designer and Illustrator in Tokyo. But after some moving around, she found she was much more drawn to craft than art. Now based in Vancouver, Canada, she describes herself as a slow crafter, with her work including needle felting, miniature collage making, and stop-motion animation videos.

As part of her work, Mizushima has been commissioned to make music videos for the band They Might Be Giants, and has made miniature collages for several book covers in Japan.

“It takes a long time to make a needle-felted piece,” she remarked in an interview with Frankie, “especially for me (I’m a slow crafter). It has also crippled me! (Seriously, I have been having a problem in my shoulder and arm for months!)”

“My work is a bit retro, twisted, fun, colorful, nerdy, and cute (but in questionable taste),” she adds. “Luckily I usually make what I want. And I hope my work can make people smile!”

Indeed, if her work doesn’t make you smile, we regret to say that nothing will.

However, the artist has been struggling for a while now to make good photos of her creations for social media. She bought a standard lightbox from Amazon, but was still unsuccessful in her attempts to make the photos she wanted.

Luckily, her creative daughter came to the rescue by coming up with a unique plan for solving this problem. She designed a special lightbox that allowed her mom to easily create dreamy scenes for her felted animals.

“My daughter, who is studying A level DT, is always coming up with amazing product ideas and designs. She came up with an idea of a design for a unique lightbox, which would not only let in a lot more light but also allow for easy, changeable scene building/assembling,” the artist told Bored Panda.

Check out the photos below to see these dreamy scenes with lovely felted animals.

“This year I made new beasts and I want to introduce them to you,” Bobrova shared on Bored Panda. “I started adding some elements from polymer clay to my works and the result looks great. I also experimented with sizes, shapes, color combinations and found some new themes for inspiration. And of course, I am not forgetting about an extremely beautiful and severe Far North, where I live at the moment.”

The crafter shares her work on her Instagram account where she has attracted almost 4 thousand followers and hundreds of likes on each post. She also has an Etsy store where she sells her adorable creations.
