Ethical bone jewelry for the wild and feral
Wolftea is a small business working out of our nomadic travels within the damp woodlands of Washington and lush greenery of Oregon. Opened back in 2010 as a place to share my excitement and love for nature and creativity, which has evolved to a full time passion and is now including my awesome business partner Bryan.
Our work is meant to bring a new life,a new perspective to materials, items and personal inspirations that may otherwise become overlooked or forgotten, lost an abandoned.
We strive to keep as many of our materials as possible secondhand and salvaged, meaning they all come from a variety of places.
Bones and animal remains are collected from ethical and secondhand sources.
from roadkill to nature finds, from bone dumps to garage sales.
90% of beads and mismatched findings are reclaimed from old broken jewelry, found objects, barter, thrift shops, garage sales,flea markets and gifts.
We also hand-make a portion on our beads and charms from clay, wood, bone and scrap metals.
Fabrics and leathers are collected from old found coats, thrift shops, free boxes, secondhand craft stores, garage sales, trades, gifts, leftovers from other crafters and scrap bins.
Feathers are obtained from molting birds to small family farms, from found feathers in our coop to secondhand thrift stores.
The reason behind using salvaged materials is that each bead, each bone or each charm has its own history to contribute both aesthetically and energetically.
As you wear, display or gift these creations to new homes, you are enriching the history already embedded within.
We hope our work brings inspiration to you<3
