Unique Wood Pendents





Each product provides an unexplainable intimate experience. Considering the amount of time and thought that went into the labor of just one item is astounding and worth mentioning. I truly wish there was a way to bring the process of the production to life. Although the finished products are wonderful to gaze at, the beauty lies within the making. The intricate details are what create that breathtaking finish. Since I at the moment am the one and only working on creating, producing, selling, photographing, and all that comes with the beginnings to a business, I find a lack of energy in each department. One day I hope to bring the true strength of Ophilya to life and expose the beauty of the process. Baby steps!

Recycled Leather wallets with Wooden Clasp


Since I continuously have scraps of leather and wood laying around the studio, I decided it was time to deliberate and think of a way to put them to use. So now I present to you the new and improved recycled leather branded wallets. Indeed every aspect of this wallet has been recycled and reused.

Handmade Wooden Stud Earrings

These tiny stud earrings are the last small fragments of the wooden pieces used. We thrive off the challenge of recycling and reusing materials, so as the wood dwindles down to small unusable scraps, we yet again found another purpose. By saving each scrap of wood we have created a new way to frame the beauty of the natural wood grain in minuscule form which delicately lay flat upon the ear. Appropriate for both men and women, these earrings have become a simple addition to our team of hand crafted accessories.

Handmade Recycled Wood Display


Digging through scraps of wood, Mike and I found the need to give purpose to these unwanted pieces. As a small craft show approached this became the perfect opportunity to create a display using the small scraps of wood, remences of fabric, and  a unique and creative thought process to put together a completely handmade recycled wood display with handcrafted fabric signs.

Now Presenting New Ideas for Headwear


A new breed of handmade recycled hats are on the rise. There are days which I put all the leather work aside and focus mainly on using the waste accumulated through larger projects. From this, these hats were born and created, to bring to the mix of Ophilya accessories a new rugged approach to the recycled handmade accessory. Each hat has a bleached or painted treatment to give textural detail to the surface. All hand sewn, and some are equipped with the option of adjusting the hat from a buttoned on leather strap.
