Aliwyan was created to bring aliw (joy) to the world, but her journey was cut short. Someone took her from my workshop, and my heart is heavy. She is one-of-a-kind—hand-beaded, indigo-dyed, and irreplaceable. If you see her, please help her come home. No questions asked, just a reward for her safe return.
 
 

Meet Aliwyan Manlikha: Your Quirky Dwarf Jellyfish Friend

Allow me to introduce you to Aliwyan Manlikha, a unique “dwarf jellyfish alien” whose name is inspired by the Filipino word aliw, meaning joy, fun, or something delightfully interesting. She embodies a playful, quirky charm, reminding us to embrace our own eccentricities and find happiness in the unconventional.

Her deep, cosmic form is crafted from rich indigo-dyed fabric, serving as a beautiful backdrop for her vibrant personality. She features a meticulously hand-beaded and crochet patch at her center, reflecting a spirit of “fun” through intricate texture and color. Every stitch and bead was placed by hand, making her a one-of-a-kind celestial companion with a soul as vast and mysterious as the ocean.
