Nesting!

With temperatures rising and days getting longer it actually feels like it is finally Spring! In celebration I decided to create a nest with personalized eggs. It was a relatively quick and simple project.

I used simple wooden eggs that I stamped with the names and created a super simple nest from a six inch wreath, a cardboard bottom stitched on with jute twine.

Hand Hammered Bookmark

Recently I made this hand hammered bookmark for a good friend. The aluminum bookmark is hand cut from aluminum sheet metal and hand hammered, lending it slightly irregular edges and a very unique, handcrafted appearance. Next I rounded the corners of the metal (safety first!).


Then I personalized the bookmark with a single letter ‘H’. Finally I finished the bookmark with a 3-inch super soft black leather tassel.

New Keychains

I have been wanting to create a key chain using a style similar to my hand hammered aluminum and copper bookmarks. Well, I finally got it done! Like my bookmarks, they are totally hand crafted - cut, filed, drilled, hammered and finally stamped with an initial - all by my own two hands. These unique key chains add a personal style to your keys without adding much bulk or weight.
