My Story
Founded on my love of travel and researching the bizarre world of cryptid lore, I began creating my versions of popular legends across the USA and around the world. I originally started my Etsy Shop with ornaments inspired by my travels but have expanded as I’ve visited several places where cryptids have been reported. Recently I’ve been researching the mythology and mysteries that surround the many cryptids across this beautiful country of ours. After traveling to the Northwest, specifically Oregon and California, Bigfoot was an obvious first choice for me to bring to life, in ornament form. That was a huge hit and since then many well-known Cryptids have followed. I took a deep dive into the Mothman legend and visited the infamous TNT area and the Silver Bridge where he was spotted that fateful day. I’ve been having a lot of fun learning about Cryptids across the USA and have even created a few from my home state of Ohio. There are too many to name here, but I have plenty more planned in the coming year! I hope you have fun learning a little history about these creatures and consider adopting a few. Thank you for perusing my little handmade shop. If you have a chance, stop by my IG and FB pages and say ‘Hi!’
My work was recently featured in the Voyage Ohio Magazine! Check out the article by clicking the button below. I was invited by Voyage Ohio Magazine to be interviewed for their ‘Inspiring Stories’ series. I feel very honored to be chosen to tell the story of how my my little Handmade Etsy Shop was born and how its grown into what it is today.
Thank you for visiting my blog, shop and supporting small handmade businesses like mine. I hope my passion comes thru in my work and you enjoy all I have to offer.
Many Hugs,
Jodie
