This is the second episode in Season 1 but the very first episode featuring a maker. Jason is one half of a couple who brings you the Little World of Beasts. They have always wanted creative careers where they could do work that they enjoy, and hopefully bring joy to others at the same time.
They are both inspired by a love of animals, cartoons, and stories. They met in animation school and got married at the San Diego Zoo. They have been making since 2012 and they keep coming up with new things to make faster. What started as a diversion from job hunting has become a serious endeavor in itself.
They make everything by hand and they love to hear from the people who like them. They love custom orders too so check out their website https://littleworldofbeasts.com/ to contact them if you have a favorite animal or special pet you would like rendered in felt.
