I couldn’t find the kind of pieces I was looking for, soft, cozy, and a little magical, so I decided to start making them myself.

This is the very first piece I created while building my whimsical cottagecore brand.

I shared a little glimpse of the process here:

My First Elisoran Trinket Dish

I started with an air dry clay base and shaped a small trinket dish by hand.

After letting it dry, I added a mushroom illustration using Mod Podge, finished the edges with soft gold details, and sealed everything with a glaze.

It’s a simple piece, but it already feels like something from the world I want to create.

I’m still figuring things out as I go, but there’s something really special about starting small and letting ideas take shape over time.

It doesn’t have to be perfect to mean something.

This is just the beginning.
