A hand hammered sign states, "No." Accented with robin blue and light lime acrylic paint.
A secular shrine for displaying your intentions, messages, or personal reminders. A vintage chain and bell cork charm assist in removing the cork. A hand-hammered tin enclosure on the door hold blank message rolls and are displayed in the bottle, once filled out, to be a visual reminder of your hopes and intentions. The bottle stands against a gunmetal purple glitter backgrop, adding a little playfulness to the design.

A modern, playful take on a modern Pagan shrine. Natural preserved moss and fungus make a bed which is accented with natural stone and smokey quartz crystal. A stylized forest is rendered in three shades of fine metal glitter and accented with a large vintage butterfly brooch. A pentacle, a spiritual sign that references the elements of nature, hangs in front of a white powder coated metal screen.
