Plague Poppets Physicals: Olivine

Introducing Artfrom: Juli Adams; renowned Seattle-based artist, sculptor, hat designer and lover of all things macabre. There’s beauty in darkness - and a deep-rooted fascination in the macabre and unknown within us all, which her art explores in a creative, thought-provoking and humorous manner.

Physical Plague Poppets are hand-crafted 1/1 soft sculptures, each with stories to tell and personalities to discover. Juli pours copious amounts of love, craftmanship and attention to detail into every new small and mighty friend she creates - discovering more about their character, hidden powers (yep, you read that right… from teleportation to floatation, Poppets hold many secrets…) and herself in the process. And once adopted, your Poppet hopes to help you discover more about yourself too; encouraging you to reconnect with your inner child and disconnect from the stresses of everyday life, into the limitless realms of your imagination.

Plague Poppets first appeared during the pandemic (hence the name) - but they have a fascinating, adorable and lore-filled history. They’re known to appear to humans during times of hardship; offering their unwavering companionship and lust for life in order to bolster our wellbeing and help us process emotions. By nature, they are loyal friends with a deep curiosity and child-like excitement; exploring the human world from a 6-inch-tall perspective.

Poppets encourage the art of adult play; allowing us to embrace and recognise the inner child within us all in order to process our emotions, improve our wellbeing and create memories we’ll treasure.

The Plague Poppets Physicals drop provides you with a unique opportunity to adopt a small & mighty friend into your IRL life. Adopting a Poppet from the Orphanarium is an experience like no other - a handmade box full of small & mighty treasures, delivering hours of enjoyment and creativity to your doorstep. Each 1/1s is incredibly unique and born from hours of love; coming with an adoption certificate signed off and stamped by Ma Peebs, Grand Governess at the Plague Poppets Orphanarium - as well as a plethora of their favourite outfits, comforts and art pieces. No two Poppets - or listings, are the same.

Bigger picture wise, Poppets expand so much further than just the physical realm. They’re a brand experience; delivering an immersive experience and ability to collectively story-tell without limits. So far, Juli and her team have created a successful NFT project; showcasing incredibly detailed 3D animated characters that holders own the IP for… which can be customised to suit your personality by swapping accessories. This has allowed her to make Poppets more accessible, on an international scale. And to ensure that every Poppet - be that physical or digital, is made with incredible attention to detail; never mass-produced, always crafted with love. She also produces a podcast, creates comics, is working on the Plague Poppets first animated short and is working with the team to create an AR app and on-chain journalling feature for the brand.
