Created from a variety of reclaimed woods with different weight, feel, density, texture, and weathering, these were each trimmed and sanded to bring out their individual personalities and then finished with wood burning or wire and coated with a protective finish.

Because everyday clothes aren't made with pockets deep enough for wands.

These card-sized envelopes are handmade, stamped or carved or burned and weather beautifully with time and use. 

I make an ever-expanding variety of wooden costume swords and daggers. They come with and without cross-guards or leather handle wraps or inset stones.

What's a sword without a tough and rugged way to carry it? I make sword/ice pick/hatchet frogs (aka holsters or sheaths) out of stout leather and rivets. 

For the shorter tools and weapons, an adjustable dagger frog is the perfect solution.

I've gathered the best sticks from forest, lake, and ocean shore and put them through the "whack test," the "flex test," and the "does it look cool test." Then I trim, sand, sand again and seal the wood. Most have stone added as a topper, some of them hand cut and some as they were found. 

Simple wooden cooking spoons become something extra special with the most delicious bramble alive hand-burned into them. These are sealed with food-grade oil but can also be used just as decoration.

These were so much fun to decorate! Most don't have their little red tongue, but all of them move like the plastic ones you remember. I trimmed and sanded the premade snakes before decorating them for hours with my pyrography tool.

Every sling is hand-braided in hemp, jute, or waxed cotton string. They've been made in lengths of 24", 30", and 36", the most popular/useful lengths. Ceramic beads were added near the leather pouch. 

I've made a variety of shawls over the years, but this one is the one that got me started. This particular pattern is by Lisa Cook and is named Rainforest Retreat. I use a wide variety of materials and weights of yarn.

These coin-sized wood rounds were a lot of fun to handle, so I made multiple sets of the Elder Futhark runic alphabet and packaged them in cute little canvas bags stamped with my store stamp.

These leather bags are meant to be small carryalls worn cross-body. I developed clean lines into a very tough and rugged assembly so that it could be used and abused outdoors. They look particularly fantastic after they've been personalized on the flap with any of my many alphabets and fonts.

Initially designed as a side-laced belt pouch, this needed to evolve to be taller and have a cross-body strap so that it could be used to carry a cell phone and a wallet. I'm still not sure which version I like best, but I retained the belt loop and clip when I added the cross-body straps.

These tiny vials of magic were so much fun to make! Each has the appropriate mica powder mixed into a special mixture so that the colors swirl with a pearlescent sheen when they're shaken. I loved labeling them with the cork stickers and handwritten descriptions.

I really enjoyed going about my neighborhood and parks with a foraging basket to gather the beautiful things I saw. I preserved them with a dehydrator and then displayed them in little cork vials.

I spent way too much time staining and sealing these, but it was nice to have pronoun and other types of pins to offer on wood instead of plastic.

On a long, miserable, medical trip, I brought tiny wooden mushrooms and a bunch of acrylic paint. That turned out to be a great idea! Some of these were sealed with polyurethane and some I sealed with resin, but they're all darling.

I found several types of affordable mortar and pestle sets a few years ago and tried my hand at customizing them with Futhark runes.

I picked up these cute little wooden key fobs and made the majority of these to reflect the character alignment used to describe characters in DnD.

Many people carry cattle horns to use as drinking cups at renaissance faires and I wanted to make a way to carry those on a belt. I've found these work for many of the thicker things that need carried.

I visited a local rock supplier and dug around for several hours to find the stones that most resemble dragon eggs. They ranged from miniature breeds to those dragons that start from eggs the size of a grapefruit. Once painted, they were coated with a layer of resin and they each had a velvet bag to protect them during travel. I had plans for developing a "how to care for your dragon egg" pamphlet, but didn't have enough interest to pursue it.

The best selling die were the ones I burned roman numeral numbers onto! 

I've had a hard time finding affordable cutting boards to practice artwork on, but I rather liked how this little honeybee turned out.

Clearly, I need to find a picture of these in better focus! These soft little coin pouches were narrow and had to be turned upside down to pour out their contents, but they were well loved just the same.

The little wood rounds people buy to make name tags at summer camp were perfect for drawing some of my favorite designs onto for Christmas tree ornaments. I usually add the current year on the off side at the time of sale.

I went through a phase where I crocheted dozens of bags and baskets of every size, shape, and color. I use them all the time at home and was glad to share them in my booth that year as well.

This pattern began as somebody else's, but then I modified it so heavily that I felt like I could call it my own. 

I can draw birds or other subjects by hand with a photo for reference and then finish it with my wood burner. I especially like to work on sanded cedar.

I've made them in a wide variety of shapes with a wide variety of clasps and closures, but this set for "The Dungeon" made me smile.

I need to change my mounting method and the sizing wasn't perfect, but my kiddo liked it anyway!

I liked the combination of Old English style font with my regular handwriting when I was making tags for my shoppe one year.

I've made a wide variety of small custom signs for various purposes. This one was mounted onto a trinket trading table.

This was a fun one to try... I made a "Pirate Treasure Hunt Here" sign to hang at my booth and I drew and then painted it onto a curtain. It's held up very well!

I'd need a different material for the hooks if I make them again, since the copper is a bit soft, but these are still used in my booth.

It took me ages, but I finally figured out how to lace a drawstring pouch so that you can pull from two sides and it closes up pretty neatly. 

I also like finding neat cross stitch patterns on etsy to make! 

I transferred this business logo onto a pretty charcuterie board by hand.

YES. I did make over a dozen ridiculous yip-yips and yes, we used them as family Christmas stockings that year!

I designed, built, loaded, and used this fun surprise grab box at the faire! 

I don't have native/indigenous heritage, but I love the concept of medicine pouches and enjoyed making a few.

I don't knit as often as I crochet, but my husband wanted a blanket in the colors of the beach at sunrise or sunset and this beauty is the product of that idea.

I'm learning how to make stepping stones with broken ceramics as the mosaic material.

Made from a very light, rip stop fabric, these little fold-top baggies have worked well for hiking snacks.

I found some PERFECT club/cudgel/bang-bang sticks at the beach one day and had to bring them home to turn them into fancy cave-man weapons. This photo is before the second coat of leather dye, but I still love them.
