Collectible dolls made of faux fur, baked polymer clay, sintepon, wire and feathers.
All parts of the toy are moveable, a magnet is sewn into the body to attach it to various surfaces. They can be used for photo shoots, interior decoration, as a companion or a gift, but are not intended for small children.
Moth size ~ 12×20 cm.

The average delivery time is about one month, but this varies by destination:
USA: 20–30 days
Great Britain: 17–25 days
Japan: 7–20 days
China: 12–20 days
Australia, Canada & select European countries: These shipments are routed through a reliable proxy service (two-stage delivery), which adds slight delays. I’ll provide the final-mile tracking number one week later than usual—this method ensures safer transit!
The estimated delivery time is still about a month.
⚠️ Heads up! During peak seasons (pre-holiday/fall sales), postal services and customs become unpredictable. If you need your Moth by a specific date, please order early to avoid delays.
Customs & Import Taxes
Please check your local regulations before ordering — some countries may apply fees.
The moths are declared as “handmade decorative doll” (HS code 95030049) with a fair market value.

It all depends on your request. If we are talking about changing the color, then most likely I will be able to perform it. The main thing is that the right fur is available.
If we are talking about a specific type of moth, then it may take too much time to create a method for making it.
I taking notes such requests and keep them in my head, but this does not oblige you to anything, because it is unknown whether I will be able to do it and when it will be.
The wings aren’t afraid of light or water, but the body should stay dry. Inside is a dense felted core made of sintepon – strong, but difficult to fully dry if soaked. Since the moth also contains metal parts, excess moisture can cause rust or damage.
To clean the fur, gently use a soft brush or a hair dryer on a cool or medium setting with a narrow nozzle. The moth’s eyes are lacquered, so alcohol and other solvents should not come into contact with them. If that happens, don’t touch or wipe the area – just let it air dry completely. The rest of the doll, however, can be gently cleaned with alcohol if needed – this is what I use myself before shipping.
These dolls are made to last, not just to sit on a shelf. If something breaks or wears out over time, I’ll gladly repair it – as long as I’m still able to, and you cover the shipping.
Curious how they come to life? I share the full process on the About page – with photos, too.
If your moth ever needs help, just reach out – I’m here.
Absolutely! As an artist with family members who have allergies and asthma, I completely understand the concern. Here’s why my dolls are allergy-friendly:
Pet-free home: I don’t have—and will never have—pets, so there’s zero risk of animal hair on your doll.
Hypoallergenic materials: The bodies are made of baked polymer clay (non-porous) and synthetic fur (polyester), which are unlikely to trigger allergies.
Antennae note: The moth’s antennae are made of two dyed decorative feathers. If you’re sensitive to feathers, message me—we’ll work together to find an alternative!
Sanitized before shipping: After photoshoots, each doll is carefully cleaned with 90% ethanol (except the lacquered eyes) to remove any dust and blow-dried.
If you have specific concerns, I’m happy to help customize your doll for extra comfort.
I really hope that I have enough time and energy.
I would like to make many more insects.
Maybe someday I will dare to do it.
For now, I am horrified by the amount of information needed to successfully produce a moth.
The technology does not allow for mistakes in material selection and has an impressive list of necessary tools.
I doubt that such a guide will be in demand.
These dolls are best for older children or adults who can handle them gently.
They’re sturdy and made to last, but they’re not plushies for rough play – more like little art creatures. If your kid loves insects and takes care of things, they’ll likely fall in love.
Some are based on real moths like the Luna Moth or Spanish Moon Moth, while others come straight from imagination. Even the fantasy ones often feel familiar – people say they look real enough to be alive. The goal is to capture the essence of a moth, not copy it exactly.
When creating new designs, I often study photographs of real moths on iNaturalist.org. It’s a fantastic resource with thousands of species and reference images – incredibly helpful when shaping color palettes or wing patterns.
Yes – and it’s one of the most popular places for them.
Each moth has a strong magnet sewn inside the body. You’ll also get a small steel response plate with adhesive backing, so you can mount it anywhere – like on your car dashboard, lamp reflector, or bookshelf. Once attached, the moth stays securely in place, even on bumpy roads. It’s a quiet companion for long drives or everyday errands.
Every moth doll is shipped in a sturdy, self-locking box made of micro-corrugated cardboard – usually 22 × 22 cm. I take care to pack each one safely and neatly, so it feels special from the moment you open it. Even the larger moths fit inside just fine (don’t ask how – it’s an art form at this point, lol).
If you’d like it wrapped as a gift, just leave a note in the Order Notes during checkout. I’ll add decorative wrapping inside the box. That said, please keep in mind: international customs may open parcels for inspection, and repackaging isn’t always delicate.
