Step away from ordinary stuffed animals and plushies and step into the world of My Paper Crane.

Created by Heidi Kenney, My Paper Crane features artwork and some of the most adorable food-based plushies ever created. You can choose from milk cartons, donuts, bread (the bread plushies are my favorite) and more. Each made by hand and stuffed with love. The pictures above don't do any justice, they are just too adorable for words.

If you would like to see more pictures of My Paper Crane creations you should check out her Flickr page. There are just so many awesome plushies that I wished I could buy!

Toss out your plain boring cellphone cases and switch to AmigurumiKawaii's hand crocheted Sushi Cellphone Cases. These cases are 3"x 2.25" are the perfect size for cellphones and Ipod Nanos to tote around in style. I can honestly say that I've seen a lot of cellphone cases but none quite as fun and unique as these sushi cases.

You can choose from Ebi (shrimp) or Tamago (egg) Sushi Case Styles; great for protecting your phone from scratches and damages or toting around lip gloss and other small accessories.

Check out their shop for other cute hand crocheted accessories!

Luster Jewelry and Accessories is the embodiment of the Kawaii Rock spirit. Her pieces are bright, colorful, and a delight for the eyes. You can find anything from gummy bear bracelets, cute lolita chokers, to delicious fruit necklaces and much much more.

But I must warn you, you may want to set a spending limit or else you'd want to buy out the whole store (I know I would). I have my eye on quite a few pieces, so if you happen to buy them before me I do hope that you enjoy them.

What ever it may be, Luster Studio will have the perfect piece for you.

Welcome to Indie Pretty!

What exactly is Indie Pretty you ask. Well, it's a blog dedicated to kawaii (cute) hand crafted accessories made by artisans across the world, we also feature awesome supply shops too! Live out your Kawaii Rock sense of style.

What is Kawaii Rock you ask, well it's the term I use for brightly colored accessories that usually involve cute depictions of people, food, or symbols. It's part Japanese, Retro, Zakka and Kitsch. Kawaii Rock isn't just a fashion statement, it's a way of life!

But beware since everything featured here are made by hand once they are sold you may not see them for sale again for a long time or ever. Some pieces are one of a kind and cannot be reproduced. So if you see something you really really like don't hesitate or else someone will snatch it up before you. I've had that happen (on multiple occasions) and it really bummed me out. *sigh*

So sit back, grab a bag of Ritz Sour Cream & Onion Toasted Chips (because they're delicious) and take in the cuteness!

I try my best to feature someone new every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday or whenever I feel like it.

If you would like to be featured on Indie Pretty please send me a message on Indie Public or Etsy.
