Groundwater Craftworks

Groundwater Craftworks We're a crazy small studio in Louisa, KY that showcases/sells my family's artwork and creations!

My name is Jacob Wells and for generations, our family has been artists and craftworkers, mostly out of necessity with things like woodworking and sewing. That culmination of generational creativity has led to the creation of this site where we, as a family, can share our craftworks. We are currently working with epoxy resin, alcohol ink, and micro-macrame. We try to make things that are not only

fun to look at but also serve a secondary purpose by either being wearable or usable as a coaster, storage, etc.

Finally finished our sighted Kentucky cryptids set! It doesn't include all of our awesome cryptids (sorry Lake Herrington Monster, you're still my favorite pig serpent) but I've included the more well known ones! Which are; The Little Green Men of Christian County, The Beast of the Land Between The Lakes, The Pope Lick Monster, The Mothman (fight me), Wendigo, and Bigfoot! These are some of the most detailed engravings I've ever done (I don't even want to say how long some took) so if you have a favorite one let me know!

I've switched all the engravings over to Etsy because I get really consistent sells over there so if you wanna check them out it's https://groundwatercraftwork.etsy.com

Appreciate ya!

Look at our little skull ladies!! They were a little unruly to photo with the chain part but they hang super nice and are really unique looking. They'd look good and spooky for a Halloween party or every day wear if you have the right kinda vibe.

Bat season is in full swing. Bats on walls, bats on clothes, bats on cars, it's the time of the year everyone goes guano crazy for bats. So we've decided to add to it with some bats on ears.

We have 3 different accent colors for the black bat earrings and they all convey the bat season vibe perfectly. Also, we could probably do custom bats if you want a specific color we don't have on the site, just shoot us a message.

Macramé snake earrings! We also upgraded the ear wires so they hang really nice now. This is the brown/red variant. We have two other colors we made so I'll be slithering up some spam posts with all the colors. (Already posted them once but I really didn't like those pictures)

We've just finished up this spooky chic bat wall hanging and they're open for orders! They're 11.5" x 15" so they make really good accent hangings for the rest of your Halloween décor.

Here's a list of colors we have:

String: 🖤Black, 🌚Grey

Beads: 🧠Pink, ❤Red, 💛Yellow, 💜Purple, 💚Green, 💙Blue

Since these are custom order we're not doing a listing on the website, all you have to do is just send us a message with the color string and eye beads you want and we'll get started! The turn around is about 2 days and will go in order of first to last. They're 25$ each and free shipping or pick-up if you're local.

Appreciate ya'll for checking it out! Thanks!

Since we're slithering into the spooky season we figured it's time to snake in a few new styles of earrings!

These little macramé snake earrings turned out awesome! (The pictures not so much, I was experimenting with the background and I think I'm gonna reshoot them, but you can still see them pretty good.) These are the three colors we have right now but if you have a specific color you'd like, shoot us a message and we'll see if we can do it.

You can find these and our other new earrings on our website: https://groundwatercraftworks.com/collections/new-arrivals

If you have any questions just send us a message or leave a comment, we'd love to answer them. Appreciate ya!

Long time no post! So we've been doing and experiment for the last month or so trying out different options for how to sell. We didn't want to announce anything until we were confident it was a good move. The very last one that I drug my feet on was trying out Etsy because I'm not a huge fan.

Boy was I wrong. I might not agree with their business practices on some things but our engravings specifically have done really well on there (the macramé gets buried in all the drop shipping people buying off Temu and Wish then reselling it as "handmade").

So, what we've decided to do is to put most of the engraving and high ticket priced items on Etsy. Also, I've done away with the phone grips and am only doing badge reels currently. You can still custom order the phone grips though, just shoot me a message.

The rest is going to be put onto our website. Also, all custom orders that aren't direct messaged through Etsy will go through the website, unless you feel more comfortable using Etsy. It'll be more expensive through Etsy though.

This brings me to our last point. Prices have went up for everything that was moved to Etsy. This is due to the increase in fees and because our work has improved significantly since we started.

Sorry for the long post! If you have any questions about anything just leave a comment or send a message and we'll get back to ya asap!

Stay tuned for showcase posts of all our new work! (It's spooky season, get ready!)
