Announcement
Hi guys, my etsy shop is now dedicated to downloadable PDFs & a few select minis and older stock. To peruse and purchase my newer work, please feel free to check out my site at honeythistle.com

Honey Thistle is home to kodamas, woodland miniatures, tiny animal accessories, and a smattering of bohemian jewelry.
I am inspired by folk music, fairytales, and other quirky details found in overlooked places.
Follow me on instagram @honey.thistle or on tumblr (honeythistledesigns.tumblr.com) for behind-the-scenes sneak peaks and the occasional contest or discount code :)

5 out of 5 starsAn excellent tutorial, as I have come to expect from Honey Thistle... I am eager to try my hand at making the very detailed three panel screen complete with hinges

5 out of 5 starsOf all the tutorials I have purchased online over the years, this one stands out above the rest for its very excellent and thorough explanations of the various steps involved in the project. The pictures and the descriptions work together really well. I am so excited to begin making the embroidered 1:12 scale chair, and am sure it will be a success. I love the charming and whimsical aesthetic, and wish I could add a photo once I have completed it.

I've been tinkering away with my hands since I was a child, and always enjoyed making things on the small scale. I'm inspired by nature, Wes Anderson & Hayao Miyazaki movies, story books, and my orange furred studio companion.

Frequently asked questions
Custom and personalized orders
I'm currently not accepting custom orders in order to focus on creating more personal work - sorry!
However, if you are looking for a customization on one of my existing items - i.e. change the length of a necklace, swap out one element of a necklace with something from another, etc. - please feel free to send me a convo and I can set up a custom listing for you :)
Gift wrapping and packaging
All of my items come to you gift ready (either in a gift box or a stamped cotton bag). I can also include a custom message from you at no additional cost. Please let me know if that's something you'd like and the message itself in the "message to seller" box when you check out.
What's my workspace like?
I work in a smoke-free environment with a cute kitty. I inspect all my pieces before sending them out, but please be aware if you are allergic to cats.
Will my order be tracked?
All orders shipped to locations within Canada will come with tracking.
However, tracking is much more expensive internationally, and I am able to offer it as a shipped upgrade. Please message me before checking out if you would like tracking and I will get back to you with the shipping estimate.
I've bought a pattern/tutorial PDF, can I share it?
By buying one of my patterns or tutorials, you are purchasing a perpetual, non-transferable, single-user licence.
Upon purchase, you agree that you will not share or redistribute the pattern or tutorial in part, whole, altered, and/or translated and that it will only be used by you, the purchaser.
May I sell the item(s) that I made from your pattern/tutorial?
Yes you may sell finished items from my pattern, given compliance of the following conditions:
1. The items must be 100% handmade by you, the purchaser, in a limited quantity (limited defined as 50 units or less per calendar year).
2. You must use your own photos for the items listed - purchase of the pattern does not include permission to use my photographs (for this or any other purpose).
3. Each item listed for sale must state in the item description that they are based on my pattern (the credit can read: "This item is based on a Honey Thistle pattern").
