About Alternate Universe

Alternate Universe was inspired by our love of art and our desire to share our art with others via artist alleys. The name is a play on words, reflecting our love of science (Au being the scientific symbol for gold) and also the common trope in fandoms for people to create alternate universes for their characters when canon events just won’t do. Our crafts are varied and eclectic and changing all the time, from bath bombs and amigurumi to sewn pouches and knit hats, we’ve got tons of variety to appeal to everyone!
