I loved that the personal thoughts/story behind this piece were shared in the listing. This mixed media piece was packaged extremely carefully and arrived in perfect condition. Lovely seller.

I actually chose this piece in part because it didn't look like something I would usually go for and I'm so glad that I did. Carefully packaged. Excellent seller.

Beautiful Mala, perfect size for my daughter! She loves the little evil eye because it’s weird and quirky. 🖤💜🖤

I bought this on the sole reason that the explanation given in the description spoke with me deeply. I am a Lapsed Catholic Witch and it meant a lot to find a rosary that spoke to my childhood and my current path. Blessings to the creator as it is an astounding peace that grants me great peace at work🖤🧡🌙

Papercrafting and collage make me swoon. Sometimes I make art or stationary and I list each unique item here.
This is me acting a fool at my then day job. Now you can catch me working at a museum and learning as much as I can.
A small shadowbox that deals with my mom's death. Grief and despair inspire me as much as love and transcendence.
Beads <3 I'm a huge fan of rosaries and prayer beads in general, so, naturally, I make my own versions.
All the stuff in this shop is made and/or stored in a place that suffers from regular weed smoke as well as kitty hair.

living on my feet

Zu Foos (a Germanic play on my last name meaning "On Foot") started as an attempt to leave the corporate world and make it on my own. I worked hard for several years promoting myself, traveling to fairs, buying advertising...

but in the end I couldn't get Gaga's lyrics out of my head: I try to sell myself but I am really laughing- I just love the music, not the bling.

Corny, I know, but it's the truth. Trying to sell myself was pure trash and I couldn't function that way, especially when I had positioned myself such that ZF was my only income. I put my whole soul into it and it was too painful for me to keep up.

So, I got another job, and ZF moved to the back burner. What initially felt like failure evolved to become security and freedom. I went all in and then was able to back out to a comfortable place.

Now Zu Foos is a place where I can truly live on my feet. It's about freedom, expression, creativity. My only hope is that I may be able to connect with you through my work <3

Frequently asked questions

I'm local! Can I just pick up my purchase and avoid shipping?

Totally! Hit me up and I'll share a coupon code with you for free shipping, and we can arrange a socially-distanced pick up.

Do you offer cheaper shipping? (e.g. USPS First Class)

I do not. I only ship USPS Priority. Because of issues I've had in the past with orders disappearing or running super late or just generally getting lost, I opt for a shipping method that is, in my experience, significantly more reliable. I always ship within two business days, so you'll get your items super fast, just the way I like it.

ALLERGY INFORMATION

I have a cat, I burn a lot of incense, and I smoke weed in my apartment, where all my items are made and stored. If you have allergies to any of these things, please be warned.
