Happy New Year Everyone!
As we venture into 2021, I'm going to be slowing things down! Most of November through December was so crazy busy I was doing 12-15 hour days everyday! Of which, I am so grateful! But as 2021 begins, I'd like to work on some new and exciting projects. I use the quieter times just after the holiday to get creative, develop and test new ideas, and work on unique one of a kind pieces that are larger than life and really involved.
I'm also about to revamp and renovate the work space! So the studio itself will be down for the first week or two of January as everything comes and goes and I try and create a more intuitive space for better work flow.
This means my production timelines are a little stretched at 2-3 weeks, to account for anything that might need to be entirely made from scratch. As usual, I aim to project a longer timeline than I probably need and many things will ship within a few days to a week, I just like to cover my bases! If you need something quickly, be sure to reach out and let me know in advance so I can see about working some magic and getting it done faster!
International SHIPPING!
Due to the current pandemic, and the serious delays caused by the USPS system, and the lack of international flights for parcels holding up international packages, all international orders are seeing significant delays. Please be aware that international small packet, the default international option, is taking 6-8 weeks.
Here at The Slug and Kraken you'll find unique Ocean creatures and space oddities for you or your special someone(s). Octopuses, Krakens, Nudibranchs, Sea Slugs and more many ocean wonders! Meteorite gems, fragments and stardust abound! Have something in mind but you don't see it? Contact me for a custom listing! I can create anything under the sun!
Weird is wonderful!

Every unique treasure is handmade by a Mermaid <3

5 out of 5 starsThese earrings are so adorable, I know at some point I will have to own them all, I couldn't decide on what color to start so this was a great option for me. I will be back and buying more for sure.

How it happened -
The Slug and Kraken came to life in early 2014, after I discovered the art form of Polymer Clay while playing with the kids I nannied. The pliant, colorful, 3D nature of the clay was a new and stirring form I quickly became obsessed with! Focusing on my passion for underwater life, many of the creations I produce are inspired by the weird and wonderful world beneath the waves, such as my first creation ever, The Noble Sea Lemon Nudibranch. Many pieces are intended to reflect and bring awareness to the beautiful, but fragile worlds of the ocean. In 2017 I began to dabble in resin, which allowed me an oceanic transparency and lightness of materials that clay could not. As such, many of my original works have become the base of stronger, lighter, beautifully glass-like, durable resin pieces. When I moved to Florida in 2018, I discovered the Mermaiding Community and my ocean-loving soul found exuberance in finally living a life-long dream of being a mermaid. So you see, every piece of treasure from The Slug and Kraken is made by a Mermaid. Weird is Wonderful!

Returns and exchange details
Now and then, accidents do happen.
If your items arrived damaged we must act quickly to fix the issue!
I am glad to help make the return/recovery process as easy as possible, and to do this I will require a few things!
First photo's! I need photo's of the damaged items, and the packaging of the damaged items so don't throw anything away! After receiving pictures I may want to create a return label for you to send them back to me, but we may decide on another course of action.
Once I get photo's from you so I can make a postal claim, I will issue you a replacement if the item can be replaced or a refund if the item is not replacable.
Delivery
I am not responsible for any taxes, duties or charges on receiving packages for any international orders.
INTERNATIONAL BUYERS - Please be aware of any tariffs and charges you might incur on your end when you receive your item! These can sometimes be a surprise, but they are import duties placed on the package by customs and the responsibility of the purchaser to remit.
If you don't see your country as an option in shipping, please feel free to message me to see about international shipping options to your country.
Current shipping times are greatly delayed because of the pandemic, so package transit times are longer than they usually are!
UNITED STATES: Typically first class is taking 4-10 day’s, but I’ve had packages get stalled for weeks and then move again!
INTERNATIONAL:
Usually packages only take a few weeks; but because of the delay on international flights from the US to other destinations shipping is taking much longer! It’s common to see 6-8 week (or longer!) shipping delays currently.
