I make jewelry for the folks who stop many (many) times in their forest walks to point out the teeny little details, like oooo that cute lil mushroom over there!

When I say inspired by nature, I mean even in the most subtle pieces I think of how they could be part of an outdoor scene.

These are film photos that I took on some recent romps outdoors, and I just knew they had to be paired with pieces to show a bit more what I meant! Hope you enjoy :)

Flower studs with labradorite chips!

I made these a while back & have been meaning to make more with just the studs, but it’ll happen eventually

More nature to jewelry inspo. All of these photos that the jewelry pieces are overlaid on were taken by me on film!

I recently had gotten a new-to-me film camera from the thrift store and was really hoping it would work.

Truly how are we supposed to work 8+ hour days, keep the house clean, cook nutritious meals, move our bodies, have friends, have hobbies, rest AND only have a two day weekend? Oy.

I’ve had this hava ridge jasper for 2 years and knew it had to be a glacier piece, but just recently sat down and actually made it into one.

I was envisioning the large glacier with a lagoon of icebergs around it! #jewelry #handmade #glacier #natureinspired #metalsmith

Can we talk about Pinterest?! Has anyone seen success from it - I’m specifically wondering about link clicks / website visits!!

I feel like I’ve finally got a small handle on it and am seeing my stuff get more views, BUT I’m not really getting website visits. Is it worth it? #pinterest #marketing

Cats are like little assholes who live in your house and ignore you until it’s convenient for them, but I love them so much 😂 #cats

How do we feel about long necklace chains coming back? I’m thinking some 32-ish inch chains with some fun charms on the bottom? #handmadejewelry #necklaces

The absolute best compliment is when people who don’t know I’m a metalsmith compliment my handmade jewelry 🫶🏼

This is what it looks like when you support a small business. Just a gal blown away by 4 orders on a non-collection release day. Happy smiles all around! ✨🫶🏼 #handmadejewelry

These cedar & fern charms went on a hike with me in their natural habitat the other day!

Foraged from my walks in Maine & cast into sterling silver 🫶🏼
