Why wax? Why hand-carved?
Lost-wax carving is an ancient craft that is integral to the human experience. Since the 4th millennium BC, wax has been carved to adorn our bodies and homes. In an era of mass production and automation, it is more crucial than ever to return to our roots. To wear pieces that feel human, crafted by hand, and made just for you. Brown Eyed Studio is a small business, and that intimacy is a superpower. I am so proud to craft thoughtful, wonderfully whimsical pieces by hand, and hope you love them too.

I aspire to create everyday. To travel and learn new things. I'm inspired by stories, and I find them everywhere. I think we need more wonder in our lives. So let's get laughin’ and a runnin’ *hey hey*
