Alien Toys by Maryana Kopylova 1The young artist from Kharkov (Ukraine) creates strange, mythical, but absolutely adorable, toys. Mariana Kopylova herself calls them “krakazyabras.” These big-eyed creatures look like aliens, or unknown forest spirits and dazzle with their uniqueness.

 
Every creature Mariana makes is unique, she doesn’t make any two that are exactly alike. Each has its own krakazyabra name and one and only  magical feature. The artist uses different materials and techniques to create her little aliens: molding of polymer clay and self-hardening plastic, papier-mache, dry felting wool and acrylic painting, New Zealand kardoches, metal accessories, glass stones and beads. Krakazyabras, made with great love, come alive as soon as they find their homes.
