They’re done!! I’ve been kicking around this idea for years and continually put it on the back burner for one reason or another. Stoked to see where this spills into the rest of my work.
These two boxes, as well as two more, will be available at @westcraftfest 4/25 and at @njqtmm 4/26. After that I’ll be making some for @8thandashco so you can snag one even when I’m not at a market!
VENDOR SPOTLIGHT: @fable_made_
Fable Made is a queer owned woodworking practice with a focus on sustainability, the natural beauty of wood, and a touch of whimsy. They work in local domestics as well as reclaimed and foraged wood.
Their functional pieces are thoughtfully designed to be put on display along side their decor when not in use.
Their designs are inspired by their love of nature and time spent walking through creeks and woods.
Come visit Fable at the third annual New Jersey Queer and Trans Makers Market on April 26 at The Community House of Moorestown! Grab your tickets at the link in our bio.
Restock over at 8th and Ash!! Brand new page holders and hand carved wooden utensils! Head on over to snag some wooden goodies and check out the other amazing makers!
Working on more carved earrings! These guys start off with getting their centers cut out by hand before a bunch of shaping with a rough bit in my dremel. Excited to use more of the stones I’ve picked up and have these guys ready for the spring market season!

VENDOR SPOTLIGHT: @fable_made_
"Fable Made is a owned and operated by Fable who is a queer craftsperson with a focus in woodworking. They work exclusively in local domestics, scrap from others that would usually be trashed, and the occasional log from the side of the road. They like to highlight the beauty in each piece of wood by working with what is naturally there. There is a touch of whimsey to their work that is otherwise rooted in their feelings of nostalgia."
Come hang out with Fable Made at our Valentine's Mixer and Vendor Market on February 12th at 3BR Distillery! We'll have drag, drink specials, and vendors! Grab your tickets at the link in our bio.
Working my way through some scraps that were too pretty to get rid of. Squiggles are my favorite shapes to work with.

2025 has been quite a year. Constant change that has kept me on my toes. One of the most notable changes being back on December 1st I left my position at UPenn. Many factors went into this decision but it was overwhelmingly due to declining mental health from a near constant battle and inadequate support. It wasn’t what I wanted to do but became something I had to do. I’ve taken time to reset and work to reignite my love for making for the sake of making. This window has been my work view since 2019. It’s weird to not see anymore but happy to begin to show my new work views throughout 2026 💛
