I want to say to all of you in the USA, that I really appreciate you and the income you have provided my family over the years. Please don't give up on us & come back next year. I plan on steering Taitaya Forge through this storm and hope to see you on the other side. ❤️

New blog post in the Origins series. I'm quite chuffed with the copious amount of alliteration in the title. My Finnish poet ancestors would be proud. 😁

The forged silver Gungnir pendant has been sold out for quite a while now. I made another towards the end of last year and only just had an opportunity to get it photographed and listed. 🙂

I've published the first episode and introduction to my new blog series called Origins. Each episode will be a deep dive in how a design was created from concept to design. Will put links to episodes on this post.

would a protocol based system work for e-commerce? Small craft makers like myself are currently locked into market platforms that are slowly eroding our agency whilst increasing their cut. In a similar way to social media, it's difficult to move or find viable alternatives.
