Soot Sprites are cute little friendly lumps of soot from the 1988 Japanese anime film My Neighbor Totoro (ã¨ãªã‚Šã®ãƒˆãƒˆãƒ). But of course you don't need to know the film to think they're cute :)
I've handmade this little sprite out of wool using a technique called needle felting where I shaped raw wool using little barbed needles. And I've glued on little googly eyes, because everyone loves googly eyes. He is soft and squishy.
