I never planned to make dolls, and the moths were an accident—an improbable twist in my journey to becoming a polymer clay artist. It all started while I was crafting a new design for costume jewelry. As I molded the piece, I realized it looked strikingly similar to a moth wing. The thought of moths hadn't crossed my mind before; in fact, I was terrified of them. Despite this fear, I felt an inexplicable urge to create my first doll.

This first attempt resulted in a simple black and white moth, far removed in quality and design from what I create now. The real surprise came when my audience fell in love with these moths, sparking a demand I hadn't anticipated. And so, my journey began, leading me to craft these unique art pieces that continue to captivate and enchant.

Little did I know that my accidental creation would become the heart of my artistic identity, bringing joy and wonder to collectors around the world.

Spanish moon baby moths

Hello and welcome 🦋

I’m Semechka – a polymer clay artist since 2014, and a mothmaker since 2018 (they kind of attacked me and never let go).

I’m autistic, and I think that’s part of why I care so much about small, quiet things that feel alive.

My moths aren’t just soft objects — they’re companions. I sculpt and sew until each one feels right. Not perfect — just… real enough to make you want to whisper something to them.

They’ve found homes all over the world — from Japan and Canada to Australia and the US.

You can adopt one from my shop, or just stop by and say hi. I love hearing from people who see what I see in these little winged creatures.

I went to a gathering today! The trust that gave me a business start up fund asked me to showcase my work along with three others. I met The Lord Provost of Aberdeen who was totally enthralled by my crazy dudes and everyone else was just amazed that someone from middle-of-nowhere Scotland did something like this! Mostly that it existed! It was really fun chatting to people about it and meeting peers in the same boat. One guy starting up selling beer from Speyside which was rrrreally nice, and a girl with some beautiful blankets she screen printed. Great day! I came home and took photos of the new moth dolls too so they will be going up for sale soon :)
