Maryana Kopylova is an artist and crafter from Kharkiv, Ukraine who makes adorable figurines using polymer clay. These figurines are nicknamed Zyabras, and according to her they are “fantastic space creatures who live on Earth to help nature and all living beings.”
“I’ve been creating this fantasy world for many years with great love,” Kopylova wrote on Bored Panda. “Each Zyabra has its own mission: one keeps peace in the forest, another sings lullabies to birds, the third one grazes snails in the meadow…”
She adds various materials to her little figurines, like papier mache, acrylic paints, glass, and stones. Kopylova shares some of her work on social media, and on Esty, where you can adopt her little creatures.
