Box size. 12-12cm

Each piece is handmade from start to finish, from shaping the wooden parts to painting the small feather details by hand.

The wings are made as separate pieces so they can move gently with air or when pulled, instead of staying flat. The painting takes a few layers, starting with the base colors and then building up the smaller details that give each bird its own character.

They are decorative pieces, but my favorite part is seeing them come to life when the wings start moving.

We’ve made a few other creatures like dragons, other birds, and even a whale 😊
If people are curious, I can post one of those next.

Brightscapes: The Way To Beauty

I step into the forest and feel my shoulders soften as the air turns cool and clean, the ground whispering with the crunch of leaves under my boots while a pale birch rises ahead of me like a quiet guardian, its branches holding a warm glow of gold and ember red that seems to breathe with the season. In that moment the noise I carried in fades, replaced by the steady rhythm of my steps and the gentle hush of wind moving through the trees, reminding me that nothing needs to be rushed and that it is safe to simply be here. I run my fingers along the smooth bark, notice the faint scent of damp earth and sunlight, and feel a small kind of magic where worries loosen their grip and my thoughts find space to settle.

When was the last time you let a walk in nature slow your breath and remind you that you belong to something larger and kinder than whatever you are carrying right now?

🩷 Do you ever use creativity to make sense of difficult moments? 🩷

I recently chatted with Bold Journey to talk about art, resilience, childhood sketchbooks, finding beauty in difficult moments, and why I'm still figuring life out as I go.

It ended up being a surprisingly personal conversation, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to share my story.

Hey everyone! My Etsy shop has been open for about 3 months now, and I just added a new listing today.

I make handmade clay bracelets that are colorful, elastic, and meant to match in pairs for friends or couples.

This new listing was created because my plastic sun and moon bracelets have been surprisingly popular, so I decided to remake the idea in clay.

A couple things I offer:
☀️Custom sizing at no additional cost
☀️Discounted pricing when you buy both bracelets as a set
☀️Everything is handmade and designed by me
☀️15% off items if you favorite/heart them
☀️You can feel good supporting my dream to save up money for college <3
