SCAM ALERT: We’ve had many reports of scammers impersonating Handmade Arcade and inviting people to apply for markets, book hotel rooms, and more. Please note that official Handmade Arcade communications will only ever come from an email address ending in @handmadearcade.org. Thank you!
Mini Moose Studio is a Pittsburgh-based art business by maker Sophia Carlin, producing original illustrations of nature across handmade greeting cards, fine art prints, vinyl stickers, hand-painted slate ornaments, and traditional pysanky eggs.
The subject matter is rooted in the plants and animals of Pennsylvania and the Northeast — detailed, whimsical, and reverential by turns, capturing the small beautiful moments that locals walk past every day. Each piece is made using traditional crafts and techniques: layered pen-and-ink and watercolor, beeswax-resist dyeing on hollowed eggs, acrylic miniatures on reclaimed roofing slate.
Meaningful, lasting, and made with genuine care — whether for your own home or as a gift for someone else.
