Arctic Poppy Designs

The mural on local laundromat makes a perfect backdrop for my fish earrings 🎣

Just a few things I made recently that are on their way to Alaska

Feels good to be creating again! I won’t tell you how long it took me to make these little desert cuties 🫣 I’m just glad I didn’t melt them.

So grateful for my maker friends. Getting a diagnosis like this is such a gut punch, but seeing WHO shows up for you and HOW is a blessing. I am truly blown away by the kindness everyone has shown me through messages, cards, flowers, donations, gifts. It’s been so amazing.

Ashley is amazing and an incredibly talented handmade artist. Check out her creations 🪡

My dear friend Melissa, the artist behind Arctic Poppy Designs, was recently diagnosed with an aggressive form of breast cancer. I’ve known Melissa for many years and have loved ordering her beautiful charms for my work. She’s such a talented maker and a kind soul.

To support her as she steps back from creating to focus on healing, I’ve added a new collection of zipper pouches to my website. Each one includes a handmade charm by Melissa, and 50% of every pouch sold goes directly back to her. Arctic Poppy Designs

Thank you for helping me wrap my friend in love and support through handmade.💗

My sweet friend created a GoFundMe to help me with medical expenses and all the things. While I hope I don’t have to take an extended break from work, these donations will make all the difference over the next few weeks while I’m not working.

I have made a lot of wonderful connections over the years through my business, and I’d appreciate you sharing or donating if you have the means to do so.

Thank you so much ❤️
