Peace Seeker

A Little Stranger is the creative alias of Holly Astral, a UK-based artist and model maker renowned for her whimsical, creature-inspired art toys and plush designs. Operating from just outside London, Holly draws inspiration from animals, the natural world, and fantasy films to craft endearing and imaginative characters. Holly’s artistry is characterized by a fusion of soft textures, playful forms, and a gentle aesthetic that resonates with both children and adult collectors. Her most iconic creation is Cavey, a minimalist, bean-shaped character available in various materials, including plush, vinyl, and resin. Cavey has been featured in numerous themed releases, such as the “Toyconcaveysaurus” edition for ToyCon UK 2013. ToyCon UK is the UK’s first ever dedicated designer toy convention. With exhibitors ranging from the UK’s best customisers, retailers and toy producers, the event will create a unique opportunity to meet and interact with the stars in this growing scene. Along with the amazing exhibitors and their incredible ware, there will be talks, question sessions and custom workshops with the biggest and brightest in the UK toy scene and beyond. It is the brainchild of three toy fans who decided it was high time the UK had an event to celebrate the talent of UK Toy Artists
