Meaningful crafts

Madame Fortuna's Relic crafts is one example of how crafted objects can be valued for the work and skill that is put into them by creating an emotional connection with the buyer.

All the Relics are delicate hand-blown glass globes that contain a meaningful object - a Victorian die-cut, a petit-point rose, a scoop of red soil or yellow coral, or my favorite, an exquisite little feather from a robin, peacock, or cardinal. The prefab pieces are seriously breathtaking, but







Madame Fortuna will also custom-make a Relic from the tiny object of your choice-Hair from a loved one, dried petal from a bridal bouquet, soil or sand from a sacred place?



Madame Fortuna puts an elegant new spin on the time capsule.




Could leather objects be made incorporating some special object to the owner- a stone from the river where they used to play as a child, a piece of wood from the forest they grew up next to or soil from the land they grew up on.
