I started making clay figures to balance the seriousness of my job in emergency medicine. An outlet that makes me happy, laughing at the goofiness of some creatures’ facial expressions, making new little residents with their own personalities, and along the way found that my little companions also brought my friends and family the same level of joy.

I make each tiny sea creature one at a time, so no two are ever the same, each with their own personality, flair, charm, and always made with love.

All companions are made to order, so please allow a 1-2 week turnaround time for shipping. If you have any questions regarding order status, last minute ordering that needs expedited shipping, or custom orders/inquiries, please email me at: rhodes.sl@outlook.com or send me a message on Instagram: @littlereefstudio

Custom orders are always fun because I love creating something that’ll bring you joy in a very specific way! I can only accept so many custom orders a month as usually they are more intricate, larger items that take more product, time, and are typically outside of the reef neighborhood. That being said, please allow a 2-4 week turnaround time for shipping on custom orders.
