🍄✨ A new addition to the botanical catalogue

I’m currently neck-deep in commissions over here, but that hasn’t stopped me from quietly adding to the growing gallery of human-made botanical artworks.

This latest piece is one of my favourite fungi — the wonderfully unmistakable Fly Agaric (Amanita muscaria). 🍄

Digitally painted and inspired by the tradition of vintage botanical and scientific illustration, this piece is part of my ever-growing collection of illustrated flora and fungi. I love taking these familiar natural forms and giving them that old-world, archival feel while still creating every artwork from scratch myself.

There are commissions to finish, emails to answer and a thousand more things competing for my attention… but I’ll always make room for a little botanical painting. 🌿

The gallery continues to grow, one human-made illustration at a time.

More flora and fungi are on the way. 🌿✨

🍄🌿 The Forager's Table — Northern Europe

A new addition to the botanical catalogue:
I’ve been slowly building a collection of illustrated fungi from different corners of the world, and this one takes us north.

The Forager’s Table: Edible Fungi of Northern Europe brings together a selection of some of the region’s most recognisable and sought-after edible mushrooms, from woodland favourites to autumn foraging treasures.

Each species has been digitally painted, inspired by the tradition of vintage botanical and scientific illustration. I wanted this one to feel a little like something you might find hanging in an old naturalist’s study — part field guide, part kitchen reference, part celebration of the strange and wonderful things that grow beneath the trees. 🍄

And because apparently I can’t make a mushroom poster without immediately wanting to make another...

This is the third of a growing series exploring fungi through the edible, the poisonous, and the curious.

Keep an eye out for the more posters under these categories:

🌿 The Forager’s Table — edible fungi
☠️ The Poison Garden — poisonous fungi
🍄 The Unclaimed Harvest — curious fungi

👑📖 The Royal — Handmade Journal

Back by popular demand - The Royal is one of my more experimental journal designs — a deep red velvet cover, antique-style bronze corners, and delicate gold leaf decoration make this one feel like it belongs somewhere between a travelling scholar’s desk and a rather eccentric royal library.

The first batch of these journals disappeared surprisingly quickly, so I had to bring them back. Each one is hand-bound by me using quality artist-grade paper, making it just as suited to sketches and paintings as it is to writing, notes, plans, or whatever else you feel like filling its pages with.

As with all my handmade journals, every little detail is finished by hand, so each one has its own character.

A little dramatic? Perhaps.

But if you’re going to keep your thoughts somewhere, they might as well have a suitably grand entrance.

The Royal is now available in the shop. 👑

🕯️ The Cauldron Candles are back ✨

A fresh batch of my handmade cauldron candles has just been added to the shop.

The little ceramic cauldron vessels are individually handmade from clay, fired and then filled and poured by hand 🖤

🍂 Cinnamon & Vanilla
Warm, sweet and cosy — like something delicious bubbling away in a cottage kitchen.

🌿 Rosemary & Sage
Fresh, earthy and herbal, with the feeling of wandering through an overgrown garden.

Once the candle has burned down, the ceramic cauldron can be cleaned and kept as a little vessel of its own — because throwing away a perfectly good tiny cauldron would simply be irresponsible.

✨ Handmade ceramic vessel
✨ Individually crafted by me
✨ Hand-poured candle
✨ Available in Cinnamon & Vanilla or Rosemary & Sage
✨ Reusable ceramic cauldron

A little fire, a little fragrance, and a tiny cauldron for your shelf.

The new batch is now available in the shop. 🕯️🌿

The Blue Dragon — Handmade Journal 🐉

A journal for grand adventures, strange ideas, and whatever treasures you decide to put between its pages.

The Blue Dragon is a handmade, hand-bound journal wrapped in rich electric-blue crushed velvet.

Inside, you’ll find quality artist-grade paper, making it a beautiful blank canvas for writing, sketching, drawing, planning, or collecting all those ideas that refuse to stay in your head.

Each journal is made by hand, from the binding to the finishing details, so every one is a little piece of functional art. Whether destined for a wizard's study, an adventurer's pack, or simply your favourite writing spot, this chromatic creature is ready for its next chapter.

✨ Electric-blue crushed velvet cover

✨ Perfect for writing, sketching, journaling & creative work
✨ Each journal is handmade and unique

A little bit of dragon, a little bit of treasure, and plenty of blank pages waiting for adventure. 🐉💙

These refused to be photographed...I am now blinded by the white. Anyways! 🦷✨ The teeth are back.

A fresh batch of my little polymer clay teeth earrings has just been added to the shop — because apparently there are people out there who also think tiny disembodied teeth make excellent jewellery.

Each tooth is individually hand-sculpted and hand-painted by me, so every pair has its own little quirks and character.

Perfect for horror lovers, collectors of strange things, or anyone who enjoys wearing something that makes people do a double take. 🦷

✨ Hand-sculpted from polymer clay

✨ Lightweight drop earrings
✨ Handmade in small batches
✨ Now restocked and available in the shop

A few things are entering the shop this week...The Hobbit Door Pins are back — tiny sculptural pieces inspired by the wonderfully cosy doors of Hobbiton. 🏡

Each one is individually shaped by hand from air-dry clay and finished by me, so no two little doors are ever quite the same.

These have traditionally been a Comic Con exclusive, made in small batches for fellow fantasy nerds, and Tolkien fans. But I figured since my shop name and brand carries love and inspirations from the Lord of the Rings Universe...They are now a staple small gift available for everyone.

✨ Handmade from air-dry clay
✨ Individually painted & finished by hand
✨ Small-batch collectible
✨ Inspired by the cosy world of Middle-earth

A tiny front door for your jacket, bag, lanyard, or adventuring gear.
