Announcement    WildSpring ArtForms are personal pieces of art. Meant to express and reflect your unique style and taste.

Each item is hand-crafted primarily from natural things like stones, feathers, wood, leather, hand-made glass, metal, crystal, stone and bone beads, from good quality fabric ribbon or yarn...or from vintage, rescued, recycled, leftover and discovered elements and materials.

These items have been popular among guests at WildSpring Guest Habitat (a small ecofriendly resort on the south Oregon coast: wildspring.com), and we're starting to make them available outside our little place.

We can also make custom pieces using materials and color schemes you request, or from vintage jewelry you'd like to incorporate into a piece.

We hope you enjoy owning your treasure as much as we did making it.

"ooo...pretty."

All items will be gift wrapped in colored tissue and fabric ribbon and insured, and can be shipped directly to your recipient - we can include a little gift card to them for you.

About WildSpring

On Etsy since 2009

I ran away from the real world...

I was once a Madison Avenue executive creative director, and now consider myself a "recovering advertising executive."

(You had to watch Mad Men to understand.)

A few years back, my husband and I moved to the south Oregon coast from Los Angeles to get a life and make a different kind of living. We worked like crazy to develop a small ecofriendly resort in Port Orford, and make it the kind of place we'd like to visit, that would be comfortable in the beautiful and quirky Big Sur (if we'd had 5 times more money...).

WildSpring Guest Habitat has become successful enough that I've been able to retire from advertising, and allow me a chance to find that sweet creative part that had to cower in a corner while I took meetings, did lunch and nailed presentations to people I didn't know, trying to sell products that didn't matter.

So now I paint, write, craft, make jewelry, design greeting cards, and generally wake up looking forward to the day, deciding what cool thing I feel like working on before taking a nap or collecting wild chanterelles for dinner.

I feel like I'm living in summer camp.

So...what can I make for you today?

    After 40 years in advertising, I write, paint, nap, craft, make jewelry, nap, play with our cat, read, cook dinner, and, did I already say "nap"? Life is good.

Hi, thanks for looking. Wish you could touch each piece, turn it over in your hands and feel how special these are. Which one wants to come home to you?

A gentle note that we've tried very hard to make sure the photos and descriptions accurately depict each piece, however we can't control how your computer sees the color, or how a piece actually feels in person. We hope you love it. If not, please convo us and let's discuss the issues.

Accepted payment methods

Paypal Mastercard Visa American Express Discover Apple Pay Giftcard
Accepts Etsy Gift Cards and Etsy Credits
  • Other Method
Returns and exchanges
If you are not happy with your piece, we ask that you contact us as soon as you receive it, and convo us before leaving feedback. To quote the Beatles...we can work it out. We also assume that if you keep it for more than 5 days, you love it.

We are always happy to repair something at no cost at any time as long as it is obvious it has not been abused and is just the result of normal wear and tear. If you break it, I'm still happy to repair it at no charge if I can (as long as you return all components), but might need to discuss compensation for replacement parts or extraordinary time as necessary. You will need to pay for shipping charges.

We will refund something that arrives damaged beyond repair, but will need you return it with all the components.
Payment
I accept Visa, MasterCard and AmericanExpress. Also PayPal. There are no taxes. Payment is due within 4 days of purchase. If I don't hear from you by then, and I can't reach you (please provide good contact info), I will need to cancel the sale.
Shipping
Most items ship within 3 days of payment (unless I'm out of town, which is rare. I'll let you know when I get your payment). They ship via USPS first class mail with insurance and delivery confirmation included. I do ship internationally - convo for details and rates. Gift wrapping is available - convo for details and rates.

Each item is carefully wrapped and packaged. If they arrive damaged, please contact me immediately.
Additional policies and FAQs
Custom requests are lovely. Tell me what you'd like and I'll tell you what I need. We can solve the details together.

I love making pretty things that make you happy. Thanks for letting me try.
