Handcrafted with magic, soul and reclaimed wood
Welcome
It is my pleasure to share with you my collection of artisan earrings, children's toys and other curious creations. May you glimmer the wondrous beauty, feeling and aliveness of wood shared on this site.
I'm committed to creating with reclaimed wood (unwanted fragments and boards) and dedicated to making art that aims to meet the magnificence and unquantifiable worth of trees (as far as I am able!). Let this be my prayer to the living Earth. May the soul of the Wild Woods be carried forth in each and everything I make.
Trees have long been trying to reach us. But they speak on frequencies too low for people to hear.
― Richard Powers, The Overstory
