Want to follow a poorly-updated art instagram? Got you covered, babe. 

Current things you can buy from me

I've been making protective spirit icons/totems from felt, found objects, and other materials. They often have a little pocket incorporated for storing a small crystal, stone, seashell, personal trinket. Below are images of some of the pieces I've made. A few may still be for sale (will be noted), but I largely do commissions. 

If you would like a spirit for your home (or, y'know, a corporeal representation of a spirit you already have hangin' around), please reach out to me! My email is killian.czuba (at) gmail.com. Commissioned prices are generally $75, but you may find pre-made versions here that are posted for $40+, depending on complexity. Scroll past the images to see instructions on acquiring your own spirit!

Owl with hidden pocket under wings - $65

Purple Jaguar with jungle flower pocket - commissioned/not for sale

Tiger Cub with raw black amber pieces - gift/not for sale

Pink Cat with small moon pocket - commissioned/not for sale

Coptic angel - $40

Here's how commissions/purchasing works:

(a) For one already for sale

• Send me an email with "protective spirit" somewhere in the subject line.
• Let me know which one of the noted "For Sale" pieces you'd like to purchase.
• I'll send you an email with an invoice and you can Venmo or PayPal me the listed amount. 
• I'll get it into the mail within 3 days (unless I'm out of town, which I'll let you know about in my response) and send you an email with the tracking info.

(b) For a custom piece:

• Send me an email with "protective spirit" somewhere in the subject line.
• Tell me which animal/creature (can be real, religious, or mythological) you feel would best watch over your space--or, if it's a gift, best for that person.
• Optional: you can share one color that you'd like to have prominently featured. I can't guarantee that the creature, itself, will be that color, but it will be in there!
• This project is big on vibes. I'm going to do "whatever feels right," so to speak. Before you pay me/I put it in the mail, I'll send you a photo; if you hate it, I'll keep it and put it up here for general purchase. There is an additional $25 charge for a re-do, because they do take a lot of time. I imbue these babies with a lot of love, and sometimes it takes hours just to decide on the proper accents. Vibes, baby. They gotta be right. 😎
• Payment and delivery are the same as with (a)!
  

Note: In my initial email response to a commission, I'll give you a rough timeline of how long it will take me to work on it. There may be someone in line before you, or it might just take me a while (in addition to general inspo, there's only so much cutting and sewing speed these fingers can muster!). If it's a gift, please order way ahead of time, or with the knowledge that it may not be finished before your person's celebration. If you celebrate traditional winter holidays, I'd budget even more time. (I love USPS, but sometimes their packages go on little adventures around the country before getting to you.)
