Welcome!
I’m Moin, a game-loving indie artist in Vancouver, WA. I primarily work with polymer clay but sometimes incorporate epoxy resin into my work. I've been working pretty consistently on this hobby since 2019, where the hobby transformed into a personal quest to sculpt high-quality upgrades for every board game in my collection. Bringing my ideas into reality is so deeply satisfying to my neurodivergent brain, and I just love sharing my tiny creations with fellow gamers!
All of my pieces are made 100% by my own two hands, with the exception of the glass bottles that you'll see in my Etsy shop. [Note: I am experimenting with handmade replacements of the bottles, but in the meantime I have to work with what I have because they are the most convenient vessels to contain and protect my incredibly tiny pieces that would otherwise be easy to lose!]
Whether you found me through social media or stumbled here by happy accident—your interest and/or support means the world to me. I'm notoriously terrible at promoting myself on social media, so if you like my work (even if you aren't able to buy it), helping me out by sharing my work with others who might enjoy it would help a lot. If you’ve got an idea for a custom request or just want to geek out about gaming, feel free to reach out. I’m always up for an adventure!
