The autumn colors this year were un-be-LEAF-able!!!🍂🍁

I just couldn't resist myself... Had to grab some last minute fall photos for the collection😉 📸 And maybe tumble into a leaf pile or two!!

🌿🌿 If I could make ivy grow everywhere, I would 🌿🌿

Actually my workshop’s window and outer wall is almost entirely overgrown with ivy 😜 Makes my workshop feel wild and untamed in an urban city. 🏙️

Ever inspired, these ivy charms are perfect for re-wilding your wardrobe ... whether they dangle on your bag, lanyard, or even on your jean belt loop. I cannot wait to see what other leafy designs I can add to this!! ☘️🍂🍁

How do you like my booth?? 🌿✨

Last year, I was busy selling at my very first local art fairs!! 🎨⚒️ I was absolutely blown away by the praise I received from the communities of Deforest and Sauk City. It was so endearing to hear people get excited over leather and feel at home in my druid, LOTR, nature-inspired little haven of a tent. 🧝‍♀️🍃 Your happy faces fueled my spirits and made the last two years of my efforts feel so worth it!! 🥹

This year, I plan on attending plenty more 🗓️👍 So be on the lookout for a 2025 schedule soon….

Completed my largest custom order!! 🪶📖🔮 Meant to be a wizard’s dream satchel that stores magical tomes, writing utensils ink wells, wax stamps, and more. I cannot believe how beautifully this came together on the first try! I gobsmack myself sometimes. But perhaps it was just magic working in my favor.🤩

Cannot wait to see what enchanting adventures this satchel goes on 🌄

If you would like one for yourself, or have a custom item in mind for your own mythical character, message me directly, and let’s make the magic happen. ✨

🌜A unique totem or focal point for the witches and druids of this world. 🌜

I have never found a raven feather in the wilds before, and wanted to create a feather that captured their otherworldly beauty and charismatic nature. Dyed a midnight black, and painted in cosmic purples and blues with iridescent green hues, this leather feather is a fantastical rendition of their primary feathers. 🌠🔮

Truly a bewitching hairpiece for your nightly outings and fantastical excursions. 🧹🧙 🌌
