Hello!
ABI JOSON is a soft sculpture artist/designer/illustrator based in Manila, Philippines and she loves to create whimsical art made of fluff. She graduated from the University of the Philippines with a bachelor's degree in Fine Arts, majoring in Visual Communication. Her works are mostly digital and handmade. These days, she rediscovered the love for everything handmade. She is currently enjoying experimenting on wool and needle felting and fell in love with the creative possibilities of this unique medium. Mostly, she is inspired by nature, dreams, anything whimsical and kawaii subculture.
