About Us

What we make

  “That’s the thing with handmade items. They still have the person’s mark on them, and when you hold them, you feel less alone.”
Aimee Bender, The Color Master: Stories

Handmade items connect you to both the craftsman and their life experiences. We make custom art, accessories, and furniture, and preform home renovations.   We hope to continue the namesake of New England craftsmanship with all of our work either through our standard products, custom orders or home renovations. 

 

Story

Why we make

 “Though we travel the world over to find the beautiful, we must carry it with us, or we find it not.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson

We have lived in many places and done a lot of different jobs. There is something about being creative, working with people, and working with our hands that our 9 to 5 jobs just don’t provide. We make things to share our life experience’s in a unique way with a broad audience. We want to share our values of environmental awareness, personal care and well-being, and adventure with the world. We do this through our artwork, jewelry, and custom creations.

Artwork

Maps highlight our footprint on the natural world, and I hope the artwork that I create will inspire a respect for the delicate balance between the built and natural environment.

Home Accessories

The items in the place you live tell the story of you.  We make custom pieces for the home that expand upon that story.

People Accessories

We make unique items for unique people. This includes custom jewelry, beauty accessories, and clothing accessories. All items are designed and crafted by us.
