According to designer Yvonne Leung and the mastermind behind the unique brand, it all began with a wooden greeting card, made to last. After selling first at local craft fairs, she expanded with sales to online shoppers and store owners. Soon, she discovered that people were equally excited by her idea as she was, and a fully fleshed brand was taking shape.

Aside from laser-cut wooden stationery, her brand also sells diaries, boxes, and other keepsakes, all inscribed with personal messages – a lasting reminder of special people and treasured connections. “Before we create an item, we ask ourselves, ‘Is this something that will last and that somebody will treasure?'” explained Leung in an interview with the Etsy blog, “‘Is it something that we feel is worthwhile to bring into this world?’. I surf a lot and when I see trash in nature, it breaks my heart. We really make our products thoughtfully and with care.”

This thoughtfulness takes place at every stage of production, making her products both ecological and unique. “It’s a way to say, ‘You’re important to me and you mean something to me, so I put thought into finding something that would make you feel special,’” says Leung.

Based in Japan, Tsuchiya carves his creations out of solid blocks of wood, using a chainsaw and other heavy machinery. Besides wood, his works are adorned with carefully placed crystals, that shine as if they were the sculpture’s real eyes.

Tsuchiya envisions his animals “as if something is borrowing the posture of the animals and it’s suddenly appearing” in front of him. “Nobody has ever seen unicorns but I imagine the shape of them by knowing the characteristics of their horns as medicine and that they don’t get attached to, or domesticated by, humans.”

He explored various mediums in college (clay, metals, stone), before finally, finding his true love in woodwork. “When I carved wood for the first time, I thought, ‘this is it,’” said the artist in an interview with Beautiful Bizarre Magazine. “I felt the comfortable feeling like gnawing on fruits when I carve the wood.”

Take a look.

Ewing’s alias is Eyevan Tumbleweed if you’re looking into learning more about him. His sculptures resemble faces and crazy hairstyles. Ewing says that “the sylvan entities and their expressions of thought and emotion portray a glimpse of an otherworldly realm that is not altogether unfamiliar.”
