My Märchenwald jewelry collection will go live this Sunday, October 6th 🌿🧚‍♀️ It’s been a pleasure to bring this to life! I’ve used more plants and organic materials in this collection than I ever have before, and I love how everything turned out. I might even have another 3 or 4 pieces I can finish up in time, but I will have everything pictured for sure.

Plants from my local forest and my home garden come together with high quality natural stones to bring this fairy tale forest collection to life. I was deeply inspired by Austrian folklore, specifically the folklore from the alpine region I live in. It’s been so fun to share these folktales with you as I worked on the collection, and this has really given me so many ideas for future collections as well. Let me know which piece calls to you! 🌿

Had a nice cry about my friends again today. I really miss them.

I loved them and I just wish we could've talked more about everything 😞

If my therapist hadn't taught me how to love myself I'd be even more fucked up right now but beneath all the sadness and feeling like I must not be good enough, there's a part that knows I can make mistakes and still be a good person.

I am SO happy to say I have another foraging video to offer you! The recipe will be up on my Patreon (for free of course!) tomorrow 😊

I lose some of my closest friends, and now I need to say goodbye to my cat of 19 years.. 😞

He lasted a long time without any health issues so we knew this was coming eventually, it's just been a really hard year 😣

Before I go to sleep… I fixed up the first pair of yarrow earrings I was testing. They look so good now and I’m very happy with the plating!

🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ GOOD queer news for the TL: a bunch of students across the U.S. are using grants to make their schools more welcoming for LGBTQ+ youth

Queer students deserve to feel safe at school! We're in our third year of giving grants to put the power in their hands to make their schools more welcoming - students know what they need most in their own communities and their own schools.

Through 50 States, 50 Grants, 5,000 Voices, we've awarded over $1.5 million in grants across the U.S. to support student-led projects. Our third season has some of the most badass projects yet, like these:

❤️ “With this grant, we’ll establish an LGBTQIA+ community space in the library, open to all students, with guest speakers, arts and crafts, LGBTQIA+ books and literature, and LGBTQIA+-specific resources.” - Pocatello, Idaho

🧡 “Our project aims to support LGBTQ+ students through teacher training, development of gender-neutral bathroom protocols, and the organization of a district-wide Queer Prom.” - Gypsum, Colorado

💛 “We’ll take students from the 3 middle schools and our local high school to Honolulu Pride to make local LGBTQ+ friends, feel accepted in a large group, and see the community beyond just school.” - Ewa Beach, Hawai'i

💚 “We’re going to increase access to queer literature by working with a local nonprofit to expand our school’s collection, host storytelling events, and foster community connection." - Mobile, Alabama

💙 “Our plan is to create new Inclusivity Zones across the state in critical areas for local GSA clubs to meet, plan shared events, and be their own safe space.” - Charleston, West Virginia

💜 “We’ll host the Rainbow Youth Summit for LGBTQIA+ youth from across southern California to network, learn, and have fun in a safe, judgement free and supportive environment.” - Cathedral City, California

These students are truly the definition of making things better - you can see the rest of the amazing projects lined up across the country on our blog here!
