Spice Munchers

Spring 2025

When a spice jar goes untouched for too long, a spice muncher may take up residence inside. Before cleaning out your kitchen cabinets, check your containers for new residents! Use the “shake test”- if you hold the container up to your ear and shake it, do you hear one large object rattling around?

Small enough to hide in a spice container, these are the smallest creatures I’ve made (yet). Their fingers bend and they have a full range of motion in their shoulders and elbows.

In exchange for an occasional cinnamon stick or sprig of basil, they’ll be happy to sit on your desk and hold your pencils. Some of them even enjoy a ride in a shirt pocket.

For the right price, they may even be convinced to work on the fine details of your projects.
