There was a time when grief lived so loudly in my body,
I didn’t know where to put it.

Words didn’t reach it.
Talking didn’t touch it.

But my hands…
they knew what to do.

I found myself outside, gathering pieces of the earth —
leaves, petals, soil, fragments of something living.

And I began creating what I now call earth alters.

There was no intention to heal.
No outcome I was chasing.

Just something in me that needed to move,
to place,
to create.

Over time, I realised this wasn’t about “fixing” grief.

It was about being with it.

Letting my body regulate through rhythm and repetition.
Letting the earth hold what felt too heavy to carry alone.

Deepening my connection to the earth has become my most continuous source of healing.

Not something I arrive at.
Something I return to, again and again.

If you’re walking your own grief journey,
you don’t need to have the words.

You can begin with your hands 🤎

Honouring the Earth doesn’t have to be loud, perfect, or all at once.

It lives in the quiet choices…
the ones no one sees.

Choosing second-hand.
Composting scraps.
Washing soil from your hands after tending to something you’ve grown.

It’s remembering that we’re not separate from any of it.
We are part of the same cycle.

And sometimes, honouring the Earth is also about what we choose not to bring in.
Many everyday craft materials — paints, glitters, plastics — don’t return gently to the earth or our waterways.
Becoming aware of this is where change begins.

At Eco Art & Craft, this is what guides everything we create — materials that begin in nature… and can return to it gently.

Not perfectly.
But consciously.

Save this gentle reminder for later 🤎

If this resonates, I’d love to know —
what’s one small way you honour the Earth in your everyday life? 🌿

Someone asked for a refund on our slime.

They said it felt sticky.
Different to what they were used to.

And they were right.

Because our slime isn’t designed to behave like conventional slime.

Most slime is made from glue — a synthetic polymer derived from petroleum.

It’s often labelled non-toxic, but it doesn’t easily break down in nature and can contribute to microplastic pollution when washed down sinks or used outdoors.

So we chose a different path.

Our slime is made from plant-based ingredients, coloured with nature.

It behaves differently.
It feels different.
It’s slimey, it’s sticky, it’s a sensory delight!

Sometimes softer.
Sometimes a little tacky.

But it aligns with what matters most to us —
what our children are playing with,
and what returns to the earth.

Plus! It is sooo easy to clean up 🧼🧺

—

It’s not for everyone.

But for the families it is for…
it just makes sense 🌿🤎

For those who love slime, our Eco Slime Kit makes over 1.5L of Gloopy Slime that you can colour your own with our Eco Primary Paints 🤗 Only if you dare 😉

Not perfect outcomes
not getting it ‘right’

but learning to notice

learning to move through what we feel

this is the kind of learning that stays

and I see it again and again…
not just in moments like this
but in art

when children create freely
without needing it to look a certain way

they mix
they explore
they change things
they walk away and come back

and in that space…
something deeper is happening

they meet frustration
overwhelm
curiosity

and slowly
they learn how to move through it

maybe art was never just about what’s being made

maybe it’s one of the safest ways
to practice being with what we feel

We see craft as giving them something to do…

…but we’re actually giving them a way to meet themselves 🤎

P.s Im here for normalising images of real life!

We had a plan once.
A very “sensible” one.

Climb the ladder.
Earn the income.
Build a version of success that looked good from the outside.

But underneath it…
we were tired.
Six-day weeks.
Twelve-hour days.
A life that didn’t quite feel like ours.

So we chose something different.
We chose off-grid.
We chose less certainty… and more truth.

And then life met us there in a way we never could have imagined.

Within a year…
we lost our child.
Our home felt broken.
And so did we.

There were so many moments we could have gone back.
Back to what was familiar.
Back to what people understood.
Back to what made sense on paper.

And truthfully…
there were voices.
Opinions.
Doubts.
Questions about what we were doing and why.
Relationships lost.

But here’s what we’ve come to understand

It’s not about not listening.
It’s about knowing what’s yours to follow.

Because no one else is living your life.
No one else is holding your grief.
No one else is carrying your vision.

And sometimes…
the path that looks the least logical, the hardest to understand of others,
is the one that brings you back to yourself.

Four years on…
This month we were stepping into our first year of business owners!

And it’s not perfect.
It’s not easy.

But it’s ours.

It’s lit something back up in both of us.
A spark.
A remembering.

That we get to create a life that feels like home.
Not just one that looks like success.
One that feels rich in each other’s presence, in working and moving through life together.

✨

You don’t need permission.
You just need to stay close to what you know is true.

What’s something in your life that you’ve felt called toward… even when it didn’t make sense to anyone else?
