Handmade Pens

Unique Sentimental Gifts

Give the gift of remembrance

Every handmade pen tells a story. But what if that story is woven into the very fabric of its creation?

Each pen or pencil I craft tells a unique story. Whether it’s wood from a family cabin, a favorite tree, or fabric from a loved one’s t-shirt, apron, or leather item, these pieces preserve memories in a tangible and meaningful way. Imagine giving a heartfelt gift that will be treasured forever.

The Process

You send your materials,

I turn them into a sentimental pen.

The possibilities are almost endless. From loved ones’ clothing, shoes or boots to sentimental pieces of wood or furniture, you choose your materials, and I will turn them into a pen.
