My Story

As a child we had a large country garden that was tended to by everyone in the family.

I loved picking fresh peas, digging carrots out of the garden and just playing in the dirt.

This sparked my interest in gardening and the outdoors.

Each new plant I discovered drew me in. The intricacy of design and form was captivating.

I wanted to learn how I could preserve these beauties. I began pressing in books, and hang drying.

Leaves and petals reminded me of bird feathers or fish scales.

This led to turning them into what I thought they resembled to me.

After creating pressed flower pictures I was left with all these little tiny bits. I thought, can I do anything with these?

The resin and jewelry became an experiment. I was happy with the result and started to make more.

I began trying different techniques, shapes and colors.

I soon realized I am never going to wear the amount of jewelry I wanted to create.

I also just wanted to share it with others. Fellow plant and nature lovers and anyone of interest.

So Wild Violet Company was born. It is in its infancy and I expect many things to change as I grow and learn.

Thank you for visiting Wild Violet.

Carry a piece of nature with you wherever you roam.
