25.01.2022 My lovely friend Amy of the newly opened Tangelo at Cygnet (where the Lotus Eaters Caf used to be) has offered The Forgotten Tree a spot to set up for the Folk Festival this weekend - woohoo! Thanks Amy! Drop in and get folky with us over the weekend :)
25.01.2022 Just finished this cute beanie with the most gorgeous hand spun and dyed wool from NSW and finished with a couple of my special birds-eye Huon pine buttons Sorry folks, this ones a keeper for me.
25.01.2022 Doing some more stock photography today...who would have thought photographing gloves would be so hard?!
23.01.2022 Keeping busy and distracted with copper wire, salvaged garnets and beads. Hope everyone is keeping sane and safe #theforgottentree
23.01.2022 After something for mum this Mothers Day? How about some handmade knitted gloves...these gloves are lined with cosy fleece and finished with handmade Tassie wood buttons. They can be worn as cuffs so you can wear them while still using your hands, so handy! Let me know if youre after a particular colour.

18.01.2022 Lockdown doesnt seem much different from normal life for this hermit..still musing over new creations despite seeing the pointlessness of adornment in such difficult times. Probably not my best sales line, but Im still hopeful for the emergence of a new epoch of slow making, local growing and community connection. Heres a new creation of mine..I dyed some linen with Salt Bush from my local area, copper wire, salvaged seed pods and glass beads.
18.01.2022 A few more one-of-a-kind creations from found, salvaged and repurposed elements - bones, fur, feathers, copper, shell, beads. Some collabs with @bendyattic. Drop me a PM if any of these earthy tribal pieces tickle your fancy
15.01.2022 For all your zombie apocalypse adornment needs..more on my Instagram thingy too
15.01.2022 Finishing off more fun copper tribal boho type earrings. These cuties are handmade with copper wire, salvaged and re-made pearl pieces, copper chain and leather. Theyll suit stretched lobe tunnels and squeeze into regular lobes. More to come...
15.01.2022 Finishing up a huge collection of hand crafted artisan buttons. Feels like a solid 6 months of work! These darlings are made with Tasmanian timbers, hand cut, hand shaped and sanded, and finished with organic oil. Theyll be carded up into sets of 4 and 6 soon.
14.01.2022 A few more buttons off to their new owners

12.01.2022 Love the madness and symmetry of my work bench
11.01.2022 A few buttons in the current stash...for all your lockdown knitting needs. These handmade artisan buttons are found from sustainable sources, dried, hand-cut, hand-sanded, and organic oiled. Made in the Huon Valley, from $3-$5ea.
