Wei Xu, or Honey Thistle as she’s known online, is a miniature artist from Toronto, Canada. She has always enjoyed making things, and first started posting her creations on a creative forum during high school. She experimented with everything from crochet bags to buttons and brooches before going on to study at business school. After working in the corporate world for a few years and running an Etsy shop part-time, Wei left her job to pursue her passion for craft. She began selling jewelry and small decor while creating small sets for animation as a hobby. But, after posting her mini furniture, plants, and other interior details on Instagram, she quickly attracted a community of followers.
Since then, Wei has worked with clients including Madewell, Pottery Barn Kids, Walmart, and Hunker. She has also been featured by Chatelaine Magazine, CBC Arts, and Buzzfeed’s Nifty.
