Get To Know Us
"And into the forest I go,
to lose my mind, and find my soul."
- John Muir -
Welcome in! I'm Amberleigh, the Artist at the heart of Forest and Fae.​
​​
My husband is Jason, and we have a son, Forest! He's the inspiration in the name.
​​
Jason works full time, and I have the absolute pleasure of learning, growing and adventuring with Forest each day. I craft magical wares for magical beings in my spare time to earn extra coins. Much of my work inspired by the joy and whimsy contained within my memories of my Granny.
​​
She was eclectic and never let her inner child fade away. She was my best friend growing up even up to the day she passed on. Never once did let me feel a fool for having a wild imagination or feel out of place for being different. We were always fairy obsessed and that is inspiration for the Fae in our name.
​
A little more about me is that I am neurodivergent. Crochet has become a great asset to my life because the chaos fueled ADHD goblin that lives in my head can be satisfied by making many different crochet projects. The repetitive back and forth hand motions are calming to my nervous system and help with my OCD & CPTSD.
​
I'm not sure that Forest & Fae has found an exact niche that we fit into, and we may never but I think that's okay. We do hope to eventually get into local farmers markets and possibly have a few items in local shops. We're taking it one step at a time.​
​
Have a look at our shop. I hope you find something that suits you, and if not please don't hesitate to contact me about a custom request!
