I recently wrote out the pattern I’ve dialed in to make my mushroom pouches so that my apprentice could learn it. She picked it up in no time, and is happily cranking them out now in preparation for event season!

I had a great time at the Appalachian Renaissance Faire in Greeneville, TN this past weekend. It was a little chilly, but hey, I was able to supply the good citizens of the Duchy with many gloves and hats, as well as pouches, wands, and other ornamentation.

Hedge Witch Accessories is a new brand I am launching to focus on the craftier side of my product offerings — the handmade cosplay accessories, crocheted gifts and apparel, and jewelry. You can still find my geeky T-shirts, stickers, buttons, etc under Rebekah McGrady, Mercenary Art Ninja. That is where you can contact me for graphic design and illustration projects, while this site is going to be more about my handmade goods, so feel free to let me know if you’re wanting a custom hat, cat couch, wand or jewelry piece!
