Yesterday I car foraged a lot. Meaning I ran out of my car to grab random plants and then stuffed them into the of baskets I keep in my messy subaru at all times. Black locust flowers, which seem earlier then ever, these bamboo shoots and more. .
.
There is always something so gratifying about random people asking me, "what are you doing?" When I get caught foraging in public. Then I get to preach the good gospel of being in relationship with the Green. Of eating invasives or appreciating an unknown plant friend. They probably didn't bargain for a convo with a 100% extrovert (wink), but I'm here, I'm queer and I'm stoked to tell who ever will listen about plants. .

It's a very special time of year here in the Trillium Forest. This magical place actually gets its name from a wildflower that only blooms for a few weeks once a year in the Spring, the Trillium. Well now is the time friends, as it's currently in full swing! This flower absolutely covers the forest floor and it’s such a delight to be in its presence as this occurs. .
The Trillium Forest is a place where many magical beings live. It is a small pocket of enchantment and mystery located in the Appalachian region of the United States, and named after a native flower abundant throughout it. Very few humans have ever been allowed to enter, as it is home to many precious and amazing creatures! One must demonstrate respect and care for the Earth and its inhabitants before you are allowed access to this magical place and see all its beauty and wonder. The Forest peers into your soul, so to speak, to evaluate if your intentions are in the right place. Thank you for joining me on my travels and in my faerie research, as I discover and document many magical creatures along the way. ✨

My newest line of maple wood cutting boards. The strawberries, morel mushrooms, and sunflowers are wood burned in by hand and then the board is seasoned with butcher block oil. The strawberry cutting board is already sold but if you are interested in purchasing the sunflower or morel mushroom board just send me a message. Otherwise they will be going with me to a local folk music festival in a few weeks. #cuttingboard #kitchenware #sunflowers #morelmushroom #strawberries #woodswoman #woodworking #maker #makersgonnamake #makersofinstagram #handcrafted #customwork #womenwhowoodwork #woodlovers #artistofinstagram #artstudio #woodart #natureart #natureinspired#wildflowers #wildflowersofinstagram #forestfinds #pyrography #woodburning #appalachia #smokymountains #homestead #forage #wildedibles #mushroomhunter
