Chika Toys for Mahar Dry Goods

I love these quirky collectible toys by Los Angeles artist Chika. Designed especially for Maher Dry Goods, these are so intricately detailed and done entirely by hand. “Details are appliquéd and embroidered including french knot pupils and eyelashes.” Lovely stuff.

    These remind me of all those vintage Steiff toys that my mom has. They were all sorts of animals, do you know which one I mean?
